Music for Peace
Manila Symphony Orchestra
Marking nearly a century of musical excellence, the Manila Symphony Orchestra (MSO) and Standard Insurance proudly launch its 99th season IN PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE: 2025-2026 MSO Concert Series.
This series is a prelude to the “Road to 100” celebration of Manila Symphony Orchestra’s 100th year anniversary in 2026.
The first concert titled “MUSIC FOR PEACE” is all set to open on May 24 Saturday at the Aliw Theater, CCP Complex, Pasay City at 7:30 pm.
This year, the MSO commemorates the 80th anniversary of the series of over 150 post-liberation concerts organized between 1945 and 1946. Among the music performed during that period are Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 “From The New World” and Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D, Op. 61, which will be performed featuring Berlin-based violin soloist Emanuel John Villarin and conductor Marlon Chen. Through these monumental works, the MSO continues to celebrate its mission of using music as a force for peace, unity, and healing.
