Cecile Licad honored on National Women's Month
In celebration of National Women's Month, Senate President Pro Tempore Loren Legarda presented the artistic brilliance and musical mastery of renowned Filipina pianist Cecile Licad in a night of classical music at the Metropolitan Theater Manila.
This special musical presentation features Licad's rendition of Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's "Pianos Concerto No. 1 in B-Flat Minor, Op. 23," an empowering masterpiece of powerful and virtuosic piano writing, dramatic intensity, and heart-swooning melodies.
"This is truly a triumphant night to once again stage the artistry of Filipinos when it comes to the music industry. Cecile Licad is an undying testament to the Philippines' contribution to the world of classical music, which has truly inspired a generation of Filipino musical geniuses who continue to shape and advance the country's rich arts and culture scene," Senator Legarda conveyed.
The concert is supported by the Office of Senate President Pro Tempore Loren Legarda in cooperation with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), and the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra Society, Inc. (PPOSI).
It was mentioned to Senator Legarda by her long-time friend, the late Zenaida "Nedy" Tantoco, a true patroness of music and the arts, who, like Senator Legarda, is passionate about promoting the Philippines' rich and diverse culture and arts.
Music students from public and private schools and universities were invited to watch the concert for free to support and encourage the next generation of Filipino musicians to pursue their passion and improve their musical skills.
"Our dedication to promoting the unparalleled talent of Filipino artists is a testament to our enduring legacy. This event underscores the essence of Filipino creativity and highlights our unwavering passion for nurturing world-class talent," concluded Senator Legarda.
