The
concert features Ms.Rica Nepomuceno, an Italian-trained teacher of
voice in UP College of Music. She will interpret a rare program of
all-Filipino art songs set to the varied poetry of National Artist Bien
Lumbera, Marra Lanot, Aloysius Baes, and Rolando Tinio. Ms. Nepomuceno
will be accompanied on the piano with pianist Jourdann Petalver who also
trained in Italy and who teaches in the College.
The art of song is a marriage between poetry and music. Words (the
medium of poetry) carry the poet’s voice which is separate from the
voice of the song’s narrative’s protagonist in whose voice the singer,
in turn, attempts to relive in performance.
It is this complex layering of voices that makes the appreciation of
art song a challenging act of listening for the singer is but a medium
for the different kinds of voices emanating from the text and melodies.
Students in literature are strongly encouraged to contemplate and relish
on this fusion of voices by the poet, composer, and singer.
Admission ticket to the concert on February 14 is Php 200. Students
with valid IDs are entitled 50% discount and senior citizens, 20%.
