PPO to swoon Bukidnon on April 12


As the country’s primary institution for promoting artistic excellence, the Cultural Center of the Philippines continues to extend its reach towards neighboring regions to bring the best of the nation's culture and arts closer to all Filipino people in the regions.

The CCP in cooperation with the Office of the Senate President, Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri, will showcase the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra and their brand of music in the Province of Bukidnon.

The PPO under the baton of Maestro Herminigildo Ranera will usher in a night of music for the inauguration of the Bukidnon Center for Culture and the Arts.

As part of the PPO’s outreach programming, there will be solo performances on the clarinet by Ariel Sta. Ana and on the bassoon by Fenvee Andra. To make it more special, featured artists Lara Maigue and Gian Magdangal will enchant the audience with their music performances.

The nation’s premiere orchestra will swoon the Bukidnons with their light classical, standard, broadway, and original Filipino music. The PPO is set to perform two shows on April 12, at 3 pm and 7 pm, at the New Bukidnon Sports and Cultural Complex Museum.

One of CCP’s most well-attended outreach events are the concerts of the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra. Maestro Ranera and the PPO have performed in different towns in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. And their mission is to promote and preserve the best of Filipino arts and culture by embodying the values of katotohanan (truth), kagandahan (beauty), and kabutihan (goodness)”.

Established in 1973 as an accompaniment for the performing artists at the CCP Theater, the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra has become the country’s leading orchestra and is widely regarded as one of the best in the country. 

The PPO has performed alongside with the world’s distinguished conductors including Mendi Rodan, Piero Gamba, Enrique Batis, Sebastian Bereau, and Nicholas Koch, as well as performed with the best foreign and Filipino artists such as Van Cliburn, Renata Tebaldi, Judith Engel, Anthony Camden, David Benoit, Cecile Licad, Raul Sunico, and Lea Salonga.
