Amidst the festive bustle of December, baritone Belford King Mabunga stepped before an intimate crowd and delivered Gustav Mahler's five-song contemplation on the nuances of grief — the 𝐾𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑑𝑒𝑟 or 𝑆𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑠 𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐷𝑒𝑎𝑡ℎ 𝑜𝑓 𝐶ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑑𝑟𝑒𝑛. Rarely heard on local stages, the cycle features this week on MAESTRO FILIPINO (Sat 1200, Sun 2400, Thu 2000) alongside an interview with the thoughtful, self-described "old soul", a singer, church musician and athlete.
