No Christmas season is complete without Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker. It comes to MAESTRO FILIPINO from the Silangan Chamber Guitar Ensemble, which performed the suite in their recent concert for Manila Pianos Artist Series. More than a Christmas celebration, the event marks Silangan’s return to concertizing, and their commitment to championing the legacy of the group’s founder, Maestro Ruben Reyes. Members Raffy Ronquillo, Joseph Ramos, and Mario Echipare talk about these and more with DZFE’s Daniel.

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