When John Daniel Rotap went in to audition as a piano performance major at the UST Conservatory, he came armed only with a piece of Christian contemporary music he had learned to play by ear. His extant knowledge of and exposure to (or love of!) classical music? Zero. Note reading skills? Also zero. In fact, he had no idea that his life was about to take a completely unexpected turn. That's this MAESTRO FILIPINO with DZFE's Tiffany (Sat 1200, Sun 2400, Thu 2000). We'll also hear selections from JD's recent doctoral recital of the complete Debussy preludes.

Guitarist Rafael Ronquillo is a storyteller. His recent concert, presented by Double Pentagon Concerts, and called 𝐶𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑠 𝑑𝑒 𝐺𝑢𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑎, was an evocative narrative built on 20th and 21st century music. This MAESTRO FILIPINO with DZFE's Tiffany (Sat 1200, Sun 2400, Thu 2000) we catch up with Raffy and hear highlights of the concert recording.

Why are there twin posters of Poland and the Philippines hanging on the wall in pianist Krzysztof Moskalewicz's London flat? There is more to it than his impending return to Manila to perform ravishing recitals of romantic music on December 5 and 7. DZFE's Tiffany hears more from the Polish pianist, including his account of recording on Frederic Chopin's own Pleyel piano, and we sample his debut album of Chopin Ballades and piano postcards by Chinese composer Sun Keting. Tune in for this MAESTRO FILIPINO (Sat 1200, Sun 2400, Thu 2000). To listen via the web: in-icecast.eradioportal.com:8000/febc_dzfe.
