The Philippine Cultural Foundation, Inc. of Tampa Bay, Florida is proud to present Musikong Kawayan, the ‘bamboo orchestra’ section of its Music and Instrumental Program. It is presently composed of more than twenty-five talented members under the direction of Nhick Ramiro Pacis, a composer and arranger from the University of the Philippines.

With the support of the Arts Council of Hillsborough Country and the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, PCFI’s Music and Instrumental Program has been realized to present and instill Asian and Philippine music awareness among Filipino-Americans, in particular, and the public, in general, through ethnic instrumental and music instructions, musical productions and music composition.

Musikong Kawayan classes are held on Saturdays from 10:00 AM at the Bayanihan Arts and Events Center. These classes are free to the public. For more information, please contact the Philippine Cultural Foundation, Inc. at the Bayanihan Arts Center in Tampa, FL.
