Philippine Philharmonic fundraising concert to feature 'Home Alone' songs

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra will be holding a fundraising concert next month featuring a line-up consisting of beloved tracks and pieces from cinematic history.
The orchestra will be led at the event aptly named "Music, Movies, Magic" by conductor Gerard Salonga.
Arman Ferrer, Lara Maigue, Cris Villonco, Diomedes Saraza, Camille Lopez-Molina, Jonathan Velasco, the Alice Reyes Dance Company, and the Philippine Madrigal Singers are also featured.
Anton Huang, Chairman of the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra Society Inc. (PPOSI), said during a media event in Rustan's Makati last October 1 that "Music, Movies, Magic" would be a "celebration of the world's most beautiful conducted pieces, from the elegances of waltzes to operas and cinematic moments."
PPOSI Vice President Nestor Jardin shared some of his favorite musical compositions were actually theme songs or scores from films, citing examples like "My Heart Will Go On" from "Titanic," "Now We Are Free" from "Gladiator," and "Gabriel's Oboe" from "The Mission."
Jardin revealed the songs that would be performed at the event, including the overture from "The Great Waltz," several singers for "Tonight" from "West Side Story," a Michel Legrand medley by Villonco, and three holiday songs from the "Home Alone" films.
The PPO will perform with Saraza in their rendition of "Thais: Meditation" from "Titanic," the Madrigal Singers with "Iduyan Mo" from "Agila," and with Ferrer in two musical numbers featuring George Canseco.
Jardin explained that time constraint was considered to fit a two-hour concert. Show director Alex Cortez said the selected songs had to transport audiences to a world that was magical, "These are also iconic pieces that never seem to die."
Asked by Philstar.com about the positive benefits the concert would bring to the PPO other than funding, Jardin said it would be good for the musicians to have a different set of repertoire outside of classical music and to have a chance working with Salonga.
He reiterated that the PPO is the sole beneficiary of the concert, with funds going to retirees, musical instruments, uniforms, and scholarships.
Chairperson of the Cultural Center of the Philippines and former Miss Universe titleholder Margie Moran-Floirendo added that funding is the biggest need for theater and musical arts today, followed by youth education or awareness.
"Music, Movies, Magic" will take place in Circuit Makati's Samsung Performing Arts Theater on November 22.
10 of the greatest choirs in the world
From the greatest gospel powerhouses, and inspiring youth initiatives, to traditional cathedral choirs, we celebrate some of the greatest vocal ensembles performing around the world today.
The human voice is one of the most versatile, varied and utterly sublime musical instruments we have at our disposal.
And when blended and heard in the context of an ensemble or choir, the sound can be transcendent.
Here we celebrate some of the greatest choirs performing around the world today.
Choir of King’s College, Cambridge
A pillar of the English choral tradition, the Choir of King’s College was founded in the 15th century, and still performs to audiences all over the world – through international touring, and through broadcasts and recordings, including their beloved annual Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols on airwaves around the world on Christmas Eve. The service, which was first broadcast in 1928, is heard by millions across the globe every year.
The Sixteen
Sticking with the English choral tradition, and is a UK-based choral ensemble known and celebrated all over the world for performances delivered with precision, power and passion. The choir’s sound is rich and expressive and through TV broadcasts and film inclusions has introduced countless newcomers to works drawn from well over five centuries of sacred and secular repertoire. The choir established Genesis Sixteen in 2011 to nurture the next generation of vocal talent.
Escolania de Montserrat
Catalonia’s traditional boy’s choir, Escolania de Montserrat, was formed for the express purpose of providing choral music for the services of the Montserrat Abbey, to the north-west of Barcelona. One of the oldest institutions of its kind in Europe, the 13th-century choir also prides itself on its provision of “the Christian and moral education for the boys who perform in the choir”.
The Tallis Scholars
British early music choir, The Tallis Scholars was founded by Peter Phillips in 1973, and it’s done much to champion music of the Renaissance and beyond. The choir has its own recording label, Gimell, and through this has released numerous acclaimed and award-winning recordings. The choir’s famous 1980 recording of Allegri’s Miserere remains one of the finest recordings of the piece ever made.
Estonian Philharmonic Choir
The Estonian Philharmonic Choir is inextricably linked with the music of great composer , whose work it performs and records often, alongside that of other Estonian composers, and composers from all over the world and all through history. The choir was founded in 1981 by Tõnu Kaljuste, who was the artistic director and chief conductor for twenty years. Paul Hillier, Daniel Reuss and Kaspars Putniņš have also steered the ship.
The Mississippi Mass Choir
One of the most celebrated choirs in the US, The Mississippi Mass Choir was founded by gospel singer Franklin Williams and since it released its debut recording in 1988 it’s been in numerous Billboard charts, while winning Grammys and making TV appearances – including on the sitcom Black-ish, and the Discovery Channel’s Expedition Unknown.
RIAS Chamber Choir
The chorale arm of Berlin’s Radio Orchestra and Choirs, RIAS Chamber Choir first performed in October 1948, under the baton of Herbert Froitzheim. As well as being the vocal ensemble for some of the best orchestras in the world, including the Berlin Philharmonic, this choir’s raison d'être is also the commissioning and championing of contemporary music for vocal ensembles.
Treorchy Male Voice Choir
In 2022, Welsh singing legend, Tom Jones, named Treorchy Male Voice Choir – which was founded in its namesake town in Wales’s Rhondda Valley in 1883 – in the world. From organic beginnings as a group of 10 to 15 men meeting in town hall, pub and adjacent settings, the choir has gone on to make over 50 recordings and win the hearts of people throughout Wales – which is world famous for its fine choirs – and far beyond.
Polyphony
Stephen Layton’s ensemble, Polyphony, was born at Cambridge University and quickly made a name for itself as a fine choir of note. The Evening Standard once wrote, “No one, but no one, performs 's Messiah better every year than the choir Polyphony”, and the choir regularly performs with the best orchestras, and atop the most hallowed stages, all over the world.
And though they may be famous for their baroque performances, there’s no other choir you’d want singing contemporary choral music form the likes of and Morten Lauridsen.
Ndlovu Youth Choir
Ndlovu Youth Choir is a South African choir, founded in 2009 with the aim of giving children from disadvantaged backgrounds the chance to participate in music and education, and to thrive. The choir, which has appeared on America’s Got Talent, is a viral internet sensation, and it’s got recording chops too: its debut studio album Africa(2019) went straight to number one in the South African charts when it was released.
‘Mozart dropped a new single’ – classical fans queue to hear newly discovered work in Leipzig
3 October 2024, 23:04 | Updated: 3 October 2024, 23:08
Long lines of music lovers formed to hear a piece of history, as a previously unknown Mozart trio received its first public performance.
It‘s not often that you can hear new music from . But that’s just what modern audiences enjoyed last weekend, with performances of a newly discovered string trio.
Last Thursday, Leipzig municipal libraries revealed their discovery of a previously unknown work by the great Austrian composer.
The music was found in the collection of the Leipzig Municipal Library while researchers were completing a new edition of the Köchel catalogue of Mozart’s works.
Composed for string trio, the seven-movement piece is believed to have been written in the mid to late 1760s, when Mozart was a teenager. The manuscript features dark brown ink on off-white laid paper, with the title Serenate ex C.
The 12-minute piece has now been named Ganz kleine Nachtmusik. The first modern performance of it took place last week at the composer’s birthplace in Salzburg.
With huge excitement, Ganz kleine Nachtmusik received its German premiere at the Leipzig Opera. On Saturday, 400-metre-long queues formed in Augustusplatz outside the house with fans eager to hear the performance. It was played by graduates of the Johann Sebastian Bach Music School.
“Mozart dropped a new single,” commented one viewer on YouTube. Watch it being played above.
“We are convinced that we can now present a completely unknown, charming piece by the young Mozart,” Ulrich Leisinger, head of research at the Mozarteum Foundation, told the German Press Agency.
Leisinger said the piece displayed compositional characteristics which suggested Mozart would have been between 10 and 13 years old at the time of writing. Experts also suggested it was likely the piece was written for an outdoor performance, with the opening march intended to grab the audiences attention. Watch it in full below.
“Absolutely beautiful,” commented one Mozart fan, who made it to the Leipzig premiere.
“It’s an honour to be one of the first humans to hear this song in hundreds of years,” wrote another viewer on YouTube.
Later the musicians involved spoke to Classic FM and told of the ‘incredible honour’ of being selected to premiere the piece, but also the mysteriousness of the project, being handed the music without a title or explanation.
“Nobody could have ever imagined what it actually turned out to be,” David and Vincent Geer and Elisabeth Zimmermann told Classic FM a week later.
“It didn't even occur to us that we might have been chosen for something this big,” Vincent told us. “We thought it would just be an ordinary little gig.”
LIttle did he or his musical partners know that they were going to be part of classical music history.
The story of this rediscovered piece has gone viral and is surely now one of the biggest music stories of 2024.
In an era of streaming, international pop acts, and trending TikTok sounds, new music of a teenage Mozart still creates a moment like no other.
