The Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra’s (PPO) 38th concert season, “Metamorphosis,” sets the stage for the search for its new Music Director and features international guest soloists and renowned Filipino artists that promise a delightful and uplifting classical music experience.
The fifth series concert features Japanese-American conductor Maestro Shizuo Kuwahara, one of the conductors shortlisted for the Music Director position. Kuwahara is the First Prize winner of the prestigious Georg Solti International Conductors’ Competition in Frankfurt, Germany and principal guest conductor of The Mariinsky Theatre, Russia. Kuwahara has led performances throughout Europe, North & South America, and Asia. He was also an assistant and cover conductor with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Baltimore Symphony and Orchestra de Paris.
The featured soloist for this concert is Filipino pianist Albert Tiu. Born in Cebu, Philippines, Tiu has been called “an artist of uncommon abilities” by American Record Guide. Recently promoted to Head of Piano Studies at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, National University of Singapore, Professor Tiu studied with Jerome Lowenthal at the Juilliard School, with Michael Lewin at Boston Conservatory, and with Nita Abrogar-Quinto and Nelly Castro in the Philippines. A recipient of Juilliard’s William Petschek Award and a prizewinner of competitions in Calgary (Honens), Helsinki (Maj Lind) and Santander (Paloma O’Shea), he won the First Prize and two concerto prizes in the 1996 UNISA International Piano Competition in Pretoria, South Africa.
