The Lopez Museum & Library and Orchestra of the Filipino Youth (OFY) will pay tribute to the late National Artist for Music Lucio D. San Pedro with a concert on April 5 at 2 p.m. at the museum.
The OFY Quorum and Prep Club will play songs written by San Pedro, such as “Sa Ugoy ng Duyan,” “Katutubong Awitin,” and “Leron-leron Sinta.”
San Pedro was a prolific artist whose popular compositions include “Sa Mahal Kong Bayan,” “Simbang Gabi” and “Sa Ugoy ng Duyan.”
OFY is a joint venture between ABS-CBN Corporation and First Philippine Holdings. Ang Misyon established OFY along with its after-school music-education program, Sistema for the Filipino Youth, which caters to children from poor communities.
Concert ticket costs P500 and P450 for students and museum members. This includes admission to the museum’s ongoing exhibit “Complicated.”
“Complicated” exhibit explores the Philippines with its colonial pasts. It features commissioned works by Leslie de Chavez, Mike Adrao and Ea Torrado juxtaposed with works by Juan Luna, Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo, Juvenal Sansó, and other artworks from the collection.
The Lopez Memorial Museum is at the G/F, Benpres Bldg., Exchange Rd. and Meralco Ave., Pasig City. Call tel. 6312417.
