Tenor Nomher Nival and clarinetist Andrew Constantino with pianist Gabriel Paguirigan will be perform at the Catanduanes State University Auditorium on June 30 at 7 p.m., in Virac, Catanduanes.
Sponsored by the Catanduanes Tribune, Catanduanes State University and ARDCI Corporate Inn, the concert will be the first in the island for National Music Competitions for Young Artists top winner An- drew Constantino who will play three pieces inspired by “La Traviata,” “Rigoletto” and transcription of the aria “Omio babbino caro.”
A student of the University of Santo Tomas Conservatory of Music, Constantino told the Inquirer understanding music would result in better appreciation of it. “As a performer, you should know how to interpret the piece itself and beside the analytical part, you must know also how this beautiful art form is produced by heart and soul. Without this input, there it’s not enjoyable.”
He added classical music has changed his perspective and attitude on music in general. “My advocacy now is to make more young people be aware of its potential. They should strive to understand it. Watch concerts and explore it and in the process, appreciate how it works and change your perspective.”
Concert is free to all music teachers, students and plain music lovers from the 11 towns of Catanduanes.
