The Cultural Center of the Philippines, with the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, presents the PPO Young People’s Concert, featuring the CCP young music scholars namely flutist Mark Kenedy Rocas, violinist Adrian Nicolas Ong, and pianist Aidan Baracol, on July 7, 4 pm, at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater.

This will be the first time that the PPO will be performing at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater. With the CCP Main Building undergoing rehabilitation, the leading arts institution partners with various performing arts venues around to continue to provide world-class shows and programs to both Filipino and international audiences.

Performing under the baton of Maestro Herminigildo Ranera, the country’s leading orchestra with the young musicians will be performing Jacques Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld Overture, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Flute Concerto No. 2 (First and Second Movement), Maurice Ravel’s Tzigane, and Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2.

Born and raised in Cavite, Rocas started playing the flute at nine years old. He later joined the General Trias Band 89, under the baton of Frenvee Andra, and became a member of the Philippine Youth Symphonic Band from 2005 to 2012.

Rocas studied at the Philippine High School for the Arts and performed his first recital at the Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (CCP Little Theater) in 2011. He has a music degree from the UP College of Music and trained under Prof. Enrique Barcelo, Prof. Antonio Maigue, and Francisco Candelaria. He has taken several masterclasses under renowned international artists such as Daniel Agi of the Handwerk Ensemble (Germany), Christoph Bosh of the Phoenix Ensemble (Basel), Michael Sitsky, Raphael Leone of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, and Ulrich Muller Doppler.

His accolades include first prize winner at the National Music Competition for Young Artists (NAMCYA) Woodwind Category C; a delegate to the 2019 ASEAN Music Festival in Haiphong, Vietnam, and at the 48th anniversary of the Philippines-UAE Diplomatic Relations in Louvre Abu Dhabi, 2022.

Aidan Baracol

Rocas is currently the assistant principal flute of the UP Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Maestro Chino Toledo.

Meanwhile, Adrian Nicolas Ong received a scholarship from the Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan, where he served as a concertmaster and later graduated with honors. He trained under mentors Mellissa Geronimo Esguerra, Gina Medina-Perez, Paul Sonner, Lewis Kaplan, and Yibin Li. Ong recently graduated with honors from Mannes School of Music in New York City and studied with renowned violinist Stefan Jackiw.

Ong made his professional debut at 17 with PPO under former music director and principal conductor Yoshikazu Fukumura and performed with the PPO at the 2018 Asia Region Suzuki Conference. He participated in the Curtis Summerfest Young Artist Program, where he held principal and concertmaster positions.

He was the first recipient of the NYC Recital Debut Award from the FilAm Music Foundation and performed his Carnegie Hall debut in May 2023, where he performed a solo recital at Weill Recital Hall with Victor Asuncion.

While studying abroad, Ong remains connected to the Philippines. Being part of the FilAM Music Foundation’s roster of young artists and a scholar of the Friends for Cultural Concerns of the Philippines (FCCP), he has spearheaded fundraising concerts for both groups at home and abroad.

He is slated to do touring concerts with the Asian Youth Orchestra in various parts of Asia and Europe in July 2023. Ong continues to give back by being a mentor to the Philippine Suzuki Youth Orchestra and many other young musicians.

10 Podcasts about Classical Music and Beyond

by Fanny Po Sim Head 

Do you listen to podcasts? I enjoy listening to podcasts, especially when I am driving. In this article, I share some podcasts about classical music that our contributors and I listen to. Perhaps there are a few that you might want to listen to!

1. Latin American & Iberian Art Song Podcast

Hosted by Patricia Caicedo, Latin American & Iberian Art Song Podcast is a weekly podcast that began in 2021 during the pandemic.

The podcast does not only discuss Latin American and Iberian Art songs but also discovers composers, poets, cultures, and many more associated with the Latin American world.

2. Mind over Finger podcast

Mind Over Finger podcast provides resources for musicians in the music-making journey. Hosted by Dr. Renée-Paule Gauthier, the podcast includes many helpful discussions for musicians about practicing, performing, career-buildings, etc. Listening to this podcast has taught me many tips about rehearsing and performing.

3. The Offstage Mic

Hosted by Aubrey Bergauer, the Offstage Mic is all about the behind-the-scenes of classical industry. Bergauer is a tuba player who graduated from music performance and business at Rice University. Her shift from music performance to art management has led her to be the current executive of the California Symphony, where she has helped double the size of its audience and increased the donor base for the symphony. In addition to the podcast, Bergauer gave her brilliant thoughts through writing and conference talks.

4. OpenArted

Hosted by pianist Monika Lozinskiene, OpenArted invites varieties of guests from all walks of life. The conversation involves mental wellness, career advice, and performance practice, and some lead to deep philosophical discussions and debates.

5. Twouncles 《大叔聊古典》

Twouncles is a Taiwanese podcast (in Mandarin) hosted by Yu-ting Wu and Peng-Po Hsu. The podcast includes introducing pieces and recordings, discovering music education programs and events, and interviews. Their guests are varied from renowned musicians and music students to art and music agencies.

6. Desert Island Discs

Desert Island Discs is a long-lasting show on BBC Radio 4 where guests are interviewed about pieces of music that are meaningful to them. The music they choose can be from any genre. Still, classical music often gets selected as many interviewees have one piece or another of classical music that has a special significance to them and their lives. In the show, you can hear how music often shapes and defines people’s lives; we all have certain songs or compositions that remind us of a specific moment in our past or that we love just for how they make us feel.

7. Integrated Music Teaching Podcast

As a piano teacher, I have found Integrated Music Teaching Podcast very useful. The host, Tim Topman, is a piano educator, and in his podcast, he interviews many piano educators and discusses the different scenarios in giving individual and group piano lessons.

8. Sticky Notes: The Classical Music Podcast

Hosted by conductor and music director Joshua Weilerstein, Sticky Notes includes historical backgrounds and stylistic discussions of repertoires from well-known to less known. It also includes interviews with musicians and composers to discuss the current scene in the classical world.

9. This Classical Life

Another BBC show, This Classical Life, is a weekly show hosted by Jess Gillam. In the show, the guest often shares the music they love and how it has impacted their lives. I particularly like the variety of music I can listen to in this little over 30-min show every week.

10. The Cello Sherpa podcast

The Cello Sherpa Podcast is hosted by cellist Joel Dallow, a member of the Atlanta Symphony. The podcast not only features acclaimed cellists and discusses cello-related topics but also explores topics about career-making, personal stories, and advice for young professionals.
