Good to know
The orchestra's own season announcement carries the note that programme, artists, date and venue may change, and the start time has not been published, so confirm with the Manila Symphony Orchestra before you travel. Areté sits on the Katipunan side of the Ateneo campus with its own car park, and campus security may ask for identification at the gate.
About this event
The fifth concert of the Manila Symphony Orchestra's centennial season is given over entirely to Filipino composition, past and present, with a new work by National Artist Ryan Cayabyab receiving its premiere. Marlon Chen conducts. Hyundai Hall at Areté is a purpose built concert room, which is a rarer thing in Metro Manila than it should be.
