The PPO will be joined by esteemed soloists, including cellist Wen-Sinn Yang, violinist Diomedes Saraza Jr. who also performs as PPO's concertmaster and artist in residence, pianist Mark Bebbington, and composer Jeffrey Ching. Audiences can expect breathtaking performances of classical masterpieces such as Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4 ‘Italian’, Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake Suite, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, and more.


“Performing internationally allows the PPO to showcase Filipino artistry on the global stage. This tour is also a way to connect with our fellow Filipinos in the UK and introduce our rich musical heritage to international audiences,” said CCP President Kaye C. Tinga.


The PPO’s grand finale at Perth Festival of the Arts in Scotland marks the culmination of a tour that not only highlights Filipino excellence in classical music but also strengthens cultural ties between the Philippines and the UK.


This highly anticipated tour is made possible by IMG Artists, a leading global talent management agency in the performing arts.
