🎵 HEAR THE FUTURE OF FILIPINO MUSIC! 🎶
This July 29th, history echoes in Manila! The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) crowns 17 brilliant composers at the 2024 Composition Prize Awards – the Philippines’ most prestigious stage for musical innovation. From soul-stirring solo organ pieces to groundbreaking kulintang-piano fusions, these winners redefine what Filipino music can be.
🔥 Diversity in Harmony: Winners span 7 categories, including:
• Chamber Music: Cloyd Robinson Calucag’s "Orion's Belt" (Winner) + Paul Earvin Bibal’s "Sonata for Kulintang and Piano" (Jury Prize)
• Solo Wind: Jouie Anne Reyes’ "Poong Matayog"
• Solo Organ: Alejandro Consolacion II’s folk-tune variations
• Solo Rondalla: Jerome Quejano’s environmental ode "Kalikasan"
🎹 World Premieres Coming Soon!
After the awards, NCCA launches its INAUGURAL CONCERT SERIES – featuring 5 winning works performed live! This isn’t just recognition; it’s a launchpad for global stages.
đź’ˇ Why This Matters:
• Celebrates biennial tradition (since 2016)
• Elevates Filipino artistry using global notation standards
• Ensures winning works are published, performed & paid (royalties secured!)
👉 WITNESS THE LEGACY!
