The Davao Museum of History and Ethnography, the oldest museum in Davao City, in partnership with Marco Polo Davao is staging a benefit concert entitled “SONATA, An Evening of Classical Music and Filipino Art Songs” featuring soprano Stefanie Quintin, and classical guitarist Anton Luis Avila, with the special participation of pianist Martina Audrey Uyboco on January 23, 2017, 6:00 PM at the Marco Polo Ballroom.
The Davao Museum, managed by the Davao Museum Foundation, Inc., aims to raise funds for its upcoming exhibits and programs for its 40th year through the concert. Opened in 1977 on a donated lot in Insular Village, Lanang, Davao City, the Davao Museum has sustained its operations through the generous support of patrons, private and corporate sponsors, the media, the academe, and the Southern Mindanao communities.
For the concert, Manila-based duo Stefanie Quintin and Anton Luis Avila will play a mix of classical and contemporary music. On the first half, Quintin and Avila will serenade the audience with a choice of songs from the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods. The duo will take a modern turn with 20th century music on the concert’s second half, capping the night with Filipino art songs including Manuel Velez’s Sa Kabukiran, Nicanor Abelardo’s Mutya ng Pasig, and Col. Greg Labja’s Usahay, among others.
Davao-based child prodigy and pianist Martina Audrey Uyboco will play a few pieces of classical music during the concert intermission.
