The evening I spent at St. Paul with the musicians emitted a back-to-the-future vibe. READ:
Opening-night honors on March 15 went to pianist Mariel Ilusorio and tenor Arthur Espiritu, a synchronous teamup where, after only two rehearsals, they were able to hit the notes in perfect unison, without skipping a beat.
Schubert, as Mariel narrated, wrote the Song Cycle when he was 25 – how much love had he experienced? – just six short years before he died. In the audience were several of the 30 students from China who are enrolled in St. Paul for their doctorate in music education. To quote Dean Sunico, a teacher with a doctorate in music is “highly employable, much more so than you think.” In Mariel’s case, she’s as much a music teacher as a first-rate musician, holding regular classes at Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, UST, St. Scholastica, and Philippine High School for the Arts.
The evening I spent at St. Paul with the musicians emitted a back-to-the-future vibe. Who knew we had missed, this much, a live classical music performance in such an intimate setting? Raul, former dean of UST’s music department and president of CCP, knows the value of music as an elusive, evanescent art to be played, felt, and enjoyed.
