Oliver Salonga is a pianist who is seldom alone on stage. The Nirvana Ensemble and Aeolus Trio are just a couple of a small legion of groups with which Oliver makes exuberant music. Ahead of two chamber music concerts in May presented by the Nirvana Ensemble and Manila Pianos Artist Series (of which he is artistic director), he joins DZFE's Tiffany on MAESTRO FILIPINO (Sat 1200, Sun 2400, Thu 2000) to talk chamber music, with the accent on Romantic music.
