In 2021, he finished his Doctoral program in piano performance at the Philippine Women’s University.
The concert is the third offering in the PPO’s 38th concert season entitled “Metamorphosis” and continues the PPO search for its new Music Director.
Metamorphosis features 8 outstanding conductors, five of whom are shortlisted for the Music Director position.

He has over 20 years of professional and conducting experience during which he developed an expansive repertoire in opera, ballet and symphony. He is also a composer and arranger, having recorded his own works in “Funkhausorchester des WDR Köln” in August 2016 which he conducted as well.
