Bamboo Organ Festival 2008



The 33rd International Bamboo Organ Festival is scheduled to take place Feb. 21 to 29, 2008, at the Las Piñas Church. The opening invitational GALA that kicks off the event on Feb. 21 is traditionally meant for sponsors and subscribing member so f the festival. This time it will also pay tribute to special friends of the Festival who have supported this cultural activity since its inception: members of the Ladies Committee, Dr. Johann Trummer, Mr. Josef Kamykowski, and Ms. Anna Stock. The program for the evening will feature one of Bach’s most beautiful works - the solo cantata for baritone and orchestra no. 82 to be sung by Noel Azcona accompanied by the Festival Orchestra under Chino Toledo; an organ concerto by Handel to be played by French organist Ghislain Leroy; and the newly discovered Misa de Sales dated 1826 from Baclayon, Bohol, which will be premiered by the Las Pinas Boys Choir.
