FILSCAP CELEBRATES LINGGO NG MUSIKANG PILIPINO WITH LECTURE SERIES
In celebration of Linggo Ng Musikang Pilipino, the Filipino Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (FILSCAP) will hold its 8th Annual Master Lecture Series, which features renowned Filipino songwriters who share their tips, songwriting process, and stories behind their compositions that have become part of our ever-growing collection of original Filipino songs.
Proclamation 933, issued on Dec 19, 2014, declares the last week of July as “Linggo Ng Musikang Pilipino” to promote awareness and appreciation of homegrown music and advance Filipino art and culture as well as contribute to our country’s economy by providing employment and a viable revenue stream from the creative sector.
FILSCAP’s Master Lecture Series hopes to generate support and interest in Filipino songs by giving audiences a peek into the minds of composers. Past lecturers include Jose Mari Chan, Rey Valera, Vehnee Saturno, Jay Durias, Mike Villegas, Ryan Cayabyab, Louie Ocampo, Odette Quesada, Kitchie Nadal, and Yeng Constantino. This year, the event schedule is as follows:
