                    [Summary] => 
The invitation from US Ambassador Harry Thomas, Jr. was a total surprise. It was for a get-together with him and pianist Lorenzo B. Medel. When Evelyn R. Garcia and I arrived at the embassy residence, Lorenzo, his brother Edward, parents Dr. Stephen and Dr. Ruth Medel and tutor Mauricia Borromeo were already in the living room. There were no other guests.

’Tis said that comparisons are odious. After having listened to Oliver Salonga’s piano recital recently, I wrote: “He virtually turns every selection into a virtuoso piece.” After listening to Lorenzo “Enzo” Medel’s recital the other evening, I thought he virtually turned every selection into a virtuoso piece.

                    [Summary] => Two years ago, pianist Oliver Salonga, then 16, gave a recital at the CCP Little Theater. Last Saturday, he gave another at the F. Santiago Hall.
