“Strings of Gold”: The Manila Symphony Junior Orchestra All Set to Perform on October 1, 2024 at The Gallery Miranila
The MiraNila Heritage
House & Library proudly presents “Strings of Gold:
The Manila Symphony Orchestra Returns Triumphant from Europe” on Tuesday, October
1, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. at The Gallery MiraNila.
Only two companies were awarded the Grand Prix in Bratislava this year,
the Afrikaanse Hoër Meisieskool Pretoria from South Africa for their choir and
the MSJO from the Philippines for their orchestra. In the same month, the MSJO
journeyed to Mozart’s Vienna and garnered the top prize at the prestigious 2024
Summa Cum Laude International Music Festival, a reprise of their golden win of
2021, besting 140 orchestras from 33 countries.
The repertoire for the concert will include classical works for strings by Josef Suk, Antonio Vivaldi, and Antonín Dvořák, as well as popular classics by Andrea and Ennio Morricone, Harold Arlen, Ryan Cayabyab, Conrado del Rosario, BINI, and Benny Castillon, among others.
The Manila Symphony Junior Orchestra (MSJO) is the string orchestra training program of the MSO Foundation. The junior orchestra is composed of the most advanced students of the MSO Music Academy and other qualified students ages 9 to 26 years old.
Between 2017 and 2019, the MSJO toured Austria, Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, Korea, and Myanmar. Several MSJO members are top-prize winners of international competitions and of the Philippines’ National Music Competitions for Young Artists.
To date, several MSJO members are enrolled in leading music schools in the United States and Europe, such as the Juilliard School in New York, Cleveland State University, the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler in Berlin, and the Mozarteum University in Salzburg.
The MSJO is principally supported by Standard Insurance Inc., under its corporate motto “In Pursuit of Excellence.”
Join us in these conversations and celebrate the triumphant return from Europe of the MSJO on Tuesday, October 1, 2024.
