Went out with my girlfriends Bel and Sittie last Saturday. Bel got free tickets for the Manila Symphony Orchestra. Guest conductor for the show was a cousin of Bel's former officemate. Entitled "Forces of Nature", the performance included five symphonies. I am honestly not a fan of classical music and not familiar with even the most well known pieces. But I surely enjoyed myself and would have paid for the ticket. I was overwhelmed with the depth of talent of our Filipino musicians. They are trulyworld-class artists! Bravo!
Below is a list of symphonies as performed by the MSO with guest conductor, Joseph Esmilla.
Dvorak: Symphony no.8 in G Major
Vivaldi: Violin Concerto in E flat “ La Tempesta Di Mare”
Christian Tan, violin soloist
Mendelssohn: Overtune to Fingal’s Cave, Op.26
Smetana: The Moldau
Joseph Esmilla, guest conductor
