Accomplished
musicians who have proven their brilliance nationally and internationally are
set to perform in a concert on July 16, 2016, to showcase works by Filipino and
foreign composers and raise funds for the National Music Competitions for Young
Artists (NAMCYA).
To be held at
the Little Theater of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), the concert,
titled #galingNAMCYA, features past winners of NAMCYA, the country’s most
prestigious music competition for the youth for more than 40 years.
The performers
include Carlo Antonio Juan (Guitar), Sara Maria Gonzales (Violin), Christian Tan
(Violin), Kim Carl Mirandilla Ng (Viola), Arnold Josue (Cello), Gabriel Allan Paguirigan
(Piano), Luci Magalit (Piano), Myramae Tapia Meneses (Soprano), Antonio Maigue
(Flute), Gabriel Allan Paguirigan (Piano), Reynato Resurreccion, Jr., (Oboe),
Ariel Sta. Ana (Clarinet), Frenvee Andra (Bassoon), Naomi Sison (Piano), and
Jay-ar Mesa (French Horn, guest horn player).
“We
are very excited to have these NAMCYA winners perform and show that many of our
world-class musicians were shaped by their experiences in NAMCYA,” said
Renato Lucas, Secretary-General of NAMCYA, and who is also a past winner of the
competition.
“We titled the concert #galingNAMCYA because we want
people to know that these performers came from NAMCYA and that they represent
the wealth of talent that NAMCYA attracts every year,” added Lucas.
“Before all
these talent contests that we see today on TV, there was NAMCYA. It was where
excellent musicians were discovered and nurtured to become world-class
performers. NAMCYA continues to do that, and we want everyone to know that
NAMCYA’s advocacy is to help our youth develop musical excellence and promote
Philippine music.”
#galingNAMCYA
aims to raise funds to help NAMCYA in its advocacy. Activities include the
competitions and special performances in November, as well as outreach
performances, workshops on Philippine music, and commissioning of new Filipino
works.
#galingNAMCYA’s
virtuosi will perform masterpieces of Filipino composers such as Nicanor
Abelardo, Bayani M. De Leon, Manuel Velez, and Felipe P. De Leon, Sr., as well
as works of foreign composers such as Ludwig van Beethoven, Paul Dukas, and
Francis Poulenc.
