Roll up the stage curtains! Because for one night, and one night only, you’ll get to hear your favorite soundtracks come to life as the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra celebrates their 25th Anniversary Concert ‘Lights, Camera, Encore! — Music from the Stage and the Screen.’

The magical evening filled with nostalgia will feature music from films, television, and musical soundtracks. The orchestral group will perform recognizable compositions and scores from several musicals like Hamilton, A Star is Born, and Les Misérables. Moreover, Joe Hishaishi’s select works from Studio Ghibli films are also included in the lineup.

Special guests including Bituin Escalante, Arman Ferrer, Lara Maigue, the UST Singers, and the Philippine Madrigal Singers would also be gracing the stage along with the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra.

The anniversary concert is scheduled for October 29, 2024, at 7:30 PM at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater in Ayala Malls Circuit Makati. Tickets are available for purchase at Ticketworld outlets and their website.

A part of the concert’s proceeds will go to the PARC Foundation’s PARC Aralan Project, whose aim is to transform the lives of underprivileged youth and struggling local artists through music and the arts.

The Manila Philharmonic Orchestra is a Filipino owned and managed orchestra by the artists. They are the country’s leading orchestra, and are recognized as one of the top musical ensembles in the Asia-Pacific region. They have previously performed with Icelandic jazz-inspired pop artist, Laufey, during her concert in May.
