On Wednesday, there was the aborted rally of the Genuine Opposition at the Iloilo provincial capitol. Yesterday, there was the soft opening of the SM-Bacolod at the Reclamation area. Actually, it is the 18th SM mall in the country. On Thursday, the first National Arts Fair kicked off in Negros Occidental. This was capped last night by the concert of Romanian violinist Alexander Tomescu, who was accompanied on the piano by Mary Anne Espina.

                    [Summary] => The Manila Philharmonic Orchestra prides itself as an all-Filipino orchestra 	that is "owned and managed by artists." This vision makes the MPO unique from all other orchestras in the country, because all decisions are collectively made by orchestra members, from concert programs and choice of guest performers to mundane issues, such as rehearsals. In fact, the orchestra does not make enough to pay its members for their duties.

                    [Summary] => Beethoven would have been proud. 


If he were alive today, the famed 18th century German classical composer would have been very pleased to know that his brand of symphonic music is alive and well. Now playing in malls and other atypical concert venues, classical music is also slowly seeping into the mainstream pop market and gaining the acceptance of the masses.

The issue between Redentor Romero and the OPM/AMP (Organisasyon ng Pilipinong
Mang-aawit, Asosasyon ng Musikong Pilipino) is starting to sound like a broken
record but one more replaying won't hurt, will it?

In a media blitz, Romero denounced the OPM/AMP for making foreign performers
coming over pay ("Only P5,000 each," according to OPM president Mitch Valdes)
before they can get clearance to perform, with Romero calling OPM and AMP
(headed by John Lesaca) members "clowns," "comedians"
