Bakas

Bakas in the Filipino language means print, mark, trace, trail or vestige. This blog, then, records all those that left their marks or my impressions on anything under the sun :)

Impromptu circus tonight

Ola!

It has been another hectic morning at work. An assignment for
tomorrow was rescheduled for tonight, and we needed to submit it
before lunch. So rush-rush na naman.

Last Tuesday, I wasn't able to watch the Contemporary Circus at
Onstage in Greenbelt, Makati because we had to work overtime. It was
past 10pm when we left the office.

I'm quite disappointed when I don't get to watch some of the events of
the French Spring in Manila. They're worth your while.
I went to the Classical Music Concerts last June 8 and 9. I missed
one Sonata on June 8 because my boss called during the intermission
and we had to work. But the concert on June 9 was really great and
those who played wind instruments were good-looking :) If I had known
that, I would have watched their June 7 concert :)

There's another Contemporary Circus show at 8 pm tonight but it's at
the Republic of Malate. Be there at 6:30pm if you want to socialize
:) Delifrance has been in charge of the cocktails the past two weeks.
I guess that it still is tonight.

But since I'm either working overtime or coming from my class in
German, I've yet to partake of Delifrance's treats. Too bad :)
Just as well that my boss always reserve a seat for me, if not for my
classmates, as I always get there late :)

Have to get back to work now :)

Hope to see you in tonight's concert.

Classical Music Concerts on June 7-9

Hallo,
I watched the dance theater piece ,,Indios Bravos" this Monday night. Es
war schön. Aber ich muß zulassen, daß ich nicht viel bis die zweite
Hälfte und das Finale beeindruckt wurde.
Aber ich schaue vorwärts zu den Konzerten der klassischen Musik heute
abend bis Donnerstag.
As Christoph said, hopefully, we'll be dismissed early on Thursday.
Ich möchte zum Konzert am Donnerstag gehen.

French Colors
Series of Classical Music Concerts

June 7, 8PM, Francisco Santiago Hall - Makati
June 7, 8PM, City Sports Club - Cebu
June 8, 8PM, Ayala Musuem - Makati
June 9, 8PM, Francisco Santiago Hall - Makati

In collaboration with Association Française d'Action Artistique and
Mécénat Musical Société Générale

FRENCH COLORS !

For the first time in Manila, twelve young French musicians, each one more
talented than the other, will be performing in three musical evenings
dedicated to French and European classical music.

The Philippines will be part of a grand regional tour organized by the
AFAA, the French Association for Artistic Action, in cooperation with
Mécénat Musical Société Générale, which will pass by Korea, Japan,
Thailand, Myanmar, Pakistan, Malaysia and Singapore.

These virtuose artists, hand-picked by the AFAA, are grand prize winners
in the most prestigious international competitions. For example, Nemanja
Radulovic, violinist and child prodigy, just won the most revered « Les
Victoires de la Musique Classique », at age 19. He has performed in Manila
for French Spring 2004, accompanied by the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra
conducted by Maestro Rodel Colmenar.

French colors will take place in three concerts : a wind formation to
launch the series at the Francisco Santiago Hall, followed by a string
orchestra in one of the current hotspots of culture, the Ayala Museum, to
culminate on the third evening with all musicians forming a chamber
ensemble for a grand finale.

The French Spring in Manila has built a tradition of bringing memorable
performances to the music lovers of the capital. French Colors is one they
will never forget.

From the beginning, French Spring has always extended an event to Cebu for
the art fans of the Vizayan capital. In 2005, the Quatuor Psophos, shall
bring to Cebu some chosen hues of French Colors.

Free entrance on a first come first served basis
