It’s that Time of Year Again!
KMF scholars take centerstage anew
for “One with the Stars”
Back from last year’s hit classical concert “Songs from a
Silver World,” the talented scholars of Klassikal Music Foundation (KMF) are
set to put a grand twist on some of the most enjoyable songs ever written in
“Klassikal Music Foundation presents: One with the Stars,” KMF’s 10th
anniversary musical extravaganza.
Founded in 2007 by McDonald’s Philippines Founder and
Chairman Dr. George T. Yang, KMF is a scholarship fund that provides assistance
to deserving students who are financially incapable of pushing through with
costly music degrees. By doing so, this brings these wunderkinds closer to
their dreams.
“One with the Stars” will shine the spotlight on the KMF
scholars and their singing prowess through timeless operatic numbers. Aside
from that, they will also be performing their own renditions of contemporary
tracks. Inspired by a song from the musical Fame, the show will feature a
repertoire that includes old favorites such as "Thank you for the Music”
and “To All the Girls I Loved Before,” and recent chart-toppers such as
“Chandelier” and “This Girl is On Fire.”
"Our aim is to bring joy to the entire community
that supports the brightest scholars of the Klassikal Music Foundation and the
organization," says Dr. Yang, adding that this year’s show will "rock
audiences.”
The KMF scholars will delight guests with their heavenly
voices together with the Foundation’s founder himself. Dr. Yang, recognized as
one of the Philippines’ most sought-after tenors, is set to perform a special
number during the show. Moreover, renowned local singer Darryl Ong will grace
the concert as a special guest.
“One With the Stars” is a concert that promises to be
unlike any other. The young vocalists taking the stage that night are regarded
as some of the best of their generation. With KMF’s help, they perfected their
skills through training with the finest voice teachers from the top local
conservatories. Now, they are ready to take on the world.
“As the leading scholarship program for classical singers
in the country, we will keep on pushing the boundaries for our students. We
want our singers to be capable of providing quality entertainment as they
perform pop tunes as timeless songs,” says Dr. Yang. “KMF is focused on the
future of each scholar. Their success brings joy to the entire community.”
The Foundation takes pride in the level of talent and
skill demonstrated by its scholars, whom it considers not only as superb
performers but also as symbols of the enduring relevance and importance of the
art form. “Classical singers matter in an ever changing, ever forward-moving
world by pursuit of excellence,” adds Dr. Yang. “KMF aims to show that young
classical singers can also make a meaningful impact in our country’s music
industry.”
“One With the
Stars” is broken into six segments and directed by International Filipino
baritone and Musical Theater Director Andrew Fernando, with musical direction
by Dingdong Fiel, choreography by Rudy De Dios and Anselmo Dictado of Ballet
Manila, and lighting design by John Batalla. KMF Board Members include Dr.
Yang, Dr. Raul Sunico, Lily Monteverde, Rachelle Gerodias-Park, Gerard Salonga,
and Dr. Raul Navarro.
The showcase will be held on October 12, 7:30PM at the
Globe Auditorium, Maybank Performing Arts Theater, Bonifacio Global City,
Taguig. All proceeds go to the scholarship fund.
