Comfort, hope, and healing—these are the themes of John Rutter’s Christmas Music, an online concert featuring Alejandro Consolacion II and flautist Crystal Concepcion in Rutter’s Suite Antique and Christmas piano music. On MAESTRO FILIPINO, Consolacion joins DZFE’s Daniel to tell us more about his years-long relationship with Rutter’s compositions; rekindling old friendships onstage; and the qualities that make Rutter a remarkable composer for any time of the year.

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