This concert will be one-of-a-kind as the ensemble will be playing with a string quintet consisting of the Bayside String Quartet with bassist John DiMura and pianist Robert Jarosh. Guest performers also include PCFI’s very own Philippine Choral Group conducted by Connie Chanrasmi and the Philippine Performing Arts Company, Inc. directed by Joey Omila. There will also be a special participation of Carissa Chanrasmi, Melissa Santiano, Conchita Korfmacher, Don Bronto and Vic Omila, Jr and David Martinez III. The program will consist of original compositions and arrangements of Nhick Ramiro Pacis which include Filipino ethnic, folk and popular songs. Traditional and popular American favorites like music of Richard Rodgers will also be performed.
The Musikong Kawayan Bamboo Ensemble, Philippine Performing Arts Company and Philippine Choral Group are all cultural arms of PCFI and make up the Foundation’s Philippine Music, Theater, Dance and Art Program. With the support of the Arts Council of Hillsborough County, the Program is able to share Filipino culture with the Tampa Bay community Area community and surrounding counties and states through free classes and outreach performances.
