Onsite and online: the 47th International Bamboo Organ Festival makes the best use of both modes as it presents in-person recordings, and aspects of the Las Piñas Bamboo Organ usually unseen by the audience. On the first of two features on MAESTRO FILIPINO, we hear about this year’s featured instruments, and expanded repertoire from Dr. Beverly Shangkuan-Cheng—conductor of the Villancico Vocal and Manila Baroque Ensembles—and Dr. Armando Salarza—titular organist and artistic director of the IBOF and conductor of the Las Piñas Boys Choir. DZFE’s Daniel is the host.

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