Young Filipino music students from
different universities are set to take the stage with great songs from film classics
at "Klassikal Music Foundation presents:
Songs from a Silver World," happening on May 7, 2016, 7:30PM at the
Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium in RCBC Plaza.
Founded in 2007 by Dr. George T.
Yang, McDonald’s Philippines Founder and Chairman, Klassikal Music Foundation
(KMF) aims to help in the development and appreciation of local classical music.
This is done by giving scholarships to deserving classical music students who
otherwise cannot afford to continue their study of the very specialized field
of music.
Dr. Yang, also known as one of the
Philippines’ tenors with a passion for singing and classical music, will be
giving a special performance during the concert. Audiences can also expect an
award-winning performance from internationally-acclaimed soprano Ms. Rachelle
Gerodias and the KMF Chamber Orchestra.
One of KMF’s distinguished
scholars, Gerphil Flores, will also be delighting guests with her heavenly
voice that got the nods of judges in Asia’s Got Talent last year. McDonald’s
endorser and celebrity heartthrob Alden Richards will also grace the stage.
‘‘There is so much musical talent
among our Filipino youth, and this evening will be a proud moment to celebrate.
The scholars are truly world-class in
their talents and the KMF is committed to support them in their musical
endeavors,“ said Dr. Yang.
Over the years, Dr. Yang’s passion
for singing has been strengthened with successful albums, concerts, and
performances. Hand-in-hand with this passion is his strong desire to help the
youth. Both passions come together in KMF. Since 2007, the foundation has
supported 47 scholars, carefully selected from the country’s best musical
talents. It currently has 22 scholars in its roster.
"Klassikal Music Foundation
presents: Songs from a Silver World"
is directed by Andrew Fernando, with musical direction from Hermenegildo
Lanera, choreography from Richardson Yao, and light design from John Batalla. The
board members of KMF include Dr. George T. Yang, Dr. Raul Sunico, Ms. Shirley
Bangayan, Ms. Rosalinda Orosa, Ms. Lily Monteverde, and Ms. Rachelle Gerodias.
All proceeds of the showcase will
go to the scholarship fund.
