The Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra has been putting its composer-in-residence to serious work! Following a string of debuts including the cinematic premiere of his 80-minute 𝑅𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑆𝑦𝑚𝑝ℎ𝑜𝑛𝑦 and ahead of yet another first outing in the last concert of the season come April 17, DZFE's Tiffany catches up with Jeffrey Ching on MAESTRO FILIPINO (Sat 1200, Sun 2400, Thu 2000). The composer teases for 𝑷𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒊 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒆 and talks about the many tantalizing ways he dialogues with the music of past masters. We also hear the premiere recording of a Mozart-Ching composition, the 𝑆𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑎 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝐴 𝑚𝑎𝑗𝑜𝑟.
