Berta Rojas, a
star in the international guitar community, will hold concerts in Manila and
Cebu on May 15 and May 17 respectively.
Ms. Rojas is
tourism ambassador of her native Paraguay, where she happens to be the most
popular musician. It is her profile that greets visitors just coming out of the
international airport in Asuncion, the country’s capital.
The concert in
Manila will be at 8 pm in the Meralco Theater. The concert in Cebu will be at 8
pm in the Marcelo Fernan Hall in Lahug. Jointly organized by the Independent
Philippine Art Ventures, Inc., and the Arts Council of Cebu Foundation, the
concerts will be the classical guitar events of the year in the country.
Ms. Rojas,
described by the Wahington Post as “Guitarist extraordinaire,” will play a
mainly classical repertoire with a taste of jazz and salsa.
Special guests for
the Manila concert are Ramoncito Carpio, the country’s most internationally
awarded classic guitarist and Triple Fret, a trio composed of Marga Abejo,
Jenny de Vera, and Iqui Vinculado. Triple Fret play classical and more
accessible pieces.
