The Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra (PPO) recently kicked off its concert season at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater in Makati City with a bang.
Dubbed “Forte,” the show has PPO celebrating the symphonic might it has gained since it was founded some 40 years ago.
Dr. Jaime C. Laya, chairman of the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ (CCP) board of trustees, recalled in his welcome remarks how the PPO became the country’s premiere symphony orchestra. CCP president Kaye Tiñga, on the other hand, said the PPO has enriched the country’s performing arts scene in music by featuring both foreign as well as Filipino musical artists.
