With an eminent international career under his belt, the late baritone Andrew Fernando remained a champion of opera at home: he was working on a Filipino opera translation at his untimely passing, which was met with a flood of recollections on how he was mentor and father figure to countless classical singers. MAESTRO FILIPINO looks back on Andrew Fernando’s life with his friend and colleague, tenor Ivan Nery, and revisits his performances from the DZFE concert, Simple Gifts.

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