The first and only Filipino American Symphony Orchestra outside the Philippines just turned 15 years old and celebrated it by honoring the music of the legendary APO Hiking Society with special guests Jim Paredes and Boboy Garrovillo.
Held at the iconic Walt Disney Concert Hall, the FASO show, which was led by Maestro Robert "Bob" Shroder, brought laughter and tears to audiences as they were magically transported from their younger days to memorable years spent in the Philippines. They listened to the wonderful arrangements featuring the APO hits overture , "Mag-Artista Ka" , "Paano" and "Show Me a Smile" , among others.
Shroder, in an email interview, wrote about the award, "APO is very special to the Filipino community and made a huge impact on our culture through its music and songs."For Shroder, the highlights of the show were "the US premiere of Lucio San Pedro's 'Lahing Kayumanggi' which was really the highlight of the concert, followed by the Kundiman which people seldom hear performed, 'Madaling Araw' by Dr.
We told Ramos that we loved the "tweaking" of the song of Pete Avendano and the APO's "classical" number as their answer to that performance. Another highlight in the show was when the kids – Audrey Cymone, Ysabella Loyola, Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja, Shane Selloria and Maya – performed "Love is for Singing" .
