Celebrating 66 years on-air

Posted on May 28, 2020

With all our artists performing from their homes, what better way to mark our 66th Anniversary than with an intimate soiree?

Join us for TO MUSIC, a 66th Anniversary soiree series bringing together several artists who have featured on DZFE, in a collage of home performances. Including well-known figures of the Filipino classical community such as soprano Rachelle Gerodias, cellist Renato Lucas, pianist Aries Caces, violin-piano duo Gina Medina and Mary Anne Espina and organist AJ Consolacion II, to younger groups such as the Ripieno Ensemble and Pasipo; as well as a diversity of forces, from solo harp to solo guitar, to piano duet, cello ensemble, and even a performance from the Simon Tan Jazz Trio, TO MUSIC taps into the age-old spirit of domestic music-making: No bright lights—just a thoughtful and generous celebration of “the blessed art”.

TO MUSIC is in four parts beginning (as part of FEBC Philippines’ own 72nd Anniversary celebrations) on June 5 (Fri 1900). The video counterpart of each program premieres on our YouTube channel immediately following. Subsequent episodes will be presented June 8 (Mon 1900), June 10 (Wed 1900), and June 12 (Fri 1900).
