In the upcoming MAESTRO FILIPINO, DZFE's Tiffany is in conversation with the exuberant composer Nilo Alcala, whose work — particularly choral music — has been on the ascent among Filipino ensembles, and has also been performed abroad. Part 1 of our two-week feature on his choral music ventures into the texturally and thematically diverse world of his album /Onomatopoeia/ with the Philippine Madrigal Singers.

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

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