Pundaquit Festival
_
Pundaquit Festival is the community arts program of CASA San Miguel designed to develop the local fishing community through various programs including long and short-term residencies for visiting artists, performances, workshops and exhibits. Now in it's 19th season entitled yaman dagat: ugat ng lahi, the program aims to foster excellence and empowerment through enlightenment and direct mentorship.
The performance series for Season Nineteen at the Ramon Corpus Hall features a series of intimate chamber music concerts featuring CASA San Miguel founder Coke Bolipata, with the Pundaquit Virtuosi (the resident string ensemble) with guest artists including Dave Eggar, the Mabuhay Singers, and Neo Nocturne. The principal photography of Raya Martin's "The Great Cinema Party" will be held at Casa San Miguel with invited local and international cineastes. The festival opens with Neo Nocturne's "Chorost", a choral interpretation of movie soundtracks. This is followed by an American cellist Dave Eggar, 2011 Grammy-nominated artist for his arrangement of Itsbynne Reel, a track on his Kingston Blues album. Filipino singing group pioneer Mabuhay Singers will serenade us in celebration of CASA San Miguel's 19th foundation day. For Holy Week, the festival mounts it's annual offering on Good Friday of the monumental "Seven Last Words of Christ" by Joseph Haydn, and for Easter, a complete Brandenburg Concertos featuring the Pundaquit Virtuosi with guest alumni.
