Mystic East
Musikong Kawayan in Concet 2007
Sunday, November 4, 2007
3:00 PM
Bayanihan Arts and Events Center
PCFI
MUSIC AND INSTRUMENTAL PROGRAM
 The Arts Council of
Hillsborough County has granted the Philippine Cultural Foundation, Inc.
funds to purchase three types of Philippine musical instruments: winds
(bamboo), strings (Philippine Rondalla), and percussion (old ethnic brass
gongs and anklungs).
The three types of
instruments are deep rooted in the culture of Filipinos and clearly
portrays the indigenous heritage of the Philippines - the bamboo
instruments reflect the tribal history, the xylophonic percussion gongs
mirror the Moslem influence; the strings (rondalla) depict the more than
400 years of Spanish rule prior to the Philippines gaining its
independence from the United States in 1945.
 To
date, the PCFI has acquired a 30-piece anklung ensemble, bumbong ensemble,
a number of rondallas, octavinas and lauds, classical guitars, brass
gongs, a double bass and a grand piano. These instruments are offered for
use to volunteer children, youth and adult members who are in various
levels of experience, some with no experience at all.
 Classes are held every
Saturday and eventually including weekdays as the needs arise. Please
contact the PCFI office for actual schedules.
MUSIKONG
KAWAYAN
 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
free to the public. For more information, please contact the Philippine
Cultural Foundation, Inc. at the Bayanihan Arts Center in Tampa, FL.
With the support of the
Arts Council of Hillsborough County
and the
