The concert setting was a far cry from the concert halls they've been into. The were no gleaming floors like that of the Century Park Hotel, the enormous space of the Mall of Asia, the good acoustics of the Jaime Cardinal Sin Auditorium or the dignified air of a Poor Clare monastery.The concert was held today at the basketball court of Migara, an interior Barangay of Calbayog, with simple folks (pardon the word) in attendance. But hey, the orchestra's performance under the baton of Fr. Marlowe Rosales, ofm was, well if I may borrow a (gay) term - performance level (redundant ano?).
And how about the Migara folks? A good number of them were in attendance and the Barangay officials came in full force. On the sidelights, some orchestra members interacted with the local youth via some short lectures and demo on the various instruments.
Here is the first set of pictures which I managed to take during the concert.
