The advent of printed music and domestic music making in the middle of the 19th century also gave rise to the country's first known composers. One of the most extraordinary is the subject of a large-scale project: Julio Nakpil, composer and revolutionary. Dr Maria Alexandra Iñigo-Chua, who is spearheading the Nakpil Music Project, talks to DZFE's Tiffany this MAESTRO FILIPINO to introduce Julio Nakpil and the first volume of a set of new releases, containing music for piano.

MAESTRO FILIPINO is DZFE's program on the Philippine classical music scene.

All music on the program features with permission from the artists.
