AT A GLANCE
The festival’s revival was headlined by Singaporean jazz vocalist Michelle SgP, who performed alongside the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Rodel Colmenar.
After a hiatus since 2019, the Philippine International Jazz Festival (PI Jazz Fest ) made a vibrant comeback this year, symbolizing the resilient spirit of jazz and the enduring friendship between Singapore and the Philippines. The festival’s revival was headlined by Singaporean jazz vocalist Michelle SgP, who performed alongside the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Rodel Colmenar.
Sandra Lim-Viray, founder of the Philippine International Jazz Festival, sought to resurrect the event after its last show in 2019, and the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic. The festival’s return was fueled by the passion and support of Singapore’s Ambassador to the Philippines Constance See, who proposed a special concert to commemorate 55 years of diplomatic ties between Singapore and the Philippines. “Music transcends borders, and it’s the perfect way to mark this milestone in our bilateral relations,” she said.
Held on May 3, 2024, at Sofitel Manila Garden, the headline event of PI Jazz Fest 2024 ‘Colors of Jazz’ captivated a packed crowd. The event attracted nearly 400 attendees, including former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, government officials, diplomats, and business leaders.
Michelle SgP enchanted the audience with her original compositions, such as “Shark Filled Oasis,” “I Just Want to Be Me,” and “Serenity,” along with a dynamic cover of “Route 66.” Her soulful and versatile performance was complemented by the exquisite sounds of the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra. Her narrative interludes, where she shared the inspirations behind her songs, made the evening all the more special.
The festival also featured performances by notable Filipino jazz musicians, including the P.I Jazz All Stars (Richard Merk, Pat Castillo, Sandra Lim-Viray, Jeannie Tiongko, Emcy Corteza, Megan Herrera, Henry Katindig, Dix Lucero, Colby Dela Calzada, Mar Dizon, Ramon Guevara, Alvin Cornista and Johnny Alegre) and The Brass Munkeys. They highlighted the diverse and rich musical landscape of the Philippines.
In her address to the audience, Sandra Lim-Viray emphasized the instrumental role the Singapore Embassy played in reviving the PI Jazz Fest, acknowledging their support in making this year’s event possible. he PI Jazz Fest 2024 exemplified the power of music to bridge cultures and celebrate the enduring bond between two nations. This year’s collaboration was a reminder of jazz’s universal language and its ability to foster friendships across borders.
