Makabagong Kumparsa

Makabagong Kumparsa is a performance piece that celebrates the beauty and complexity of Philippine Rondalla Music. This production works to honor the Rondalla music of our past, while also pushing the art form forward by exploring contemporary OPM (original pinoy music) through the lens of traditional Rondalla instrumentation. Makabagong Kumparsa was produced by Matthew Espina Harris and features musicians of the renowned Agos Rondalla Ensemble.

Co-presented by Balay Kreative
