Struck and Plucked: Adventures in Music of the Philippines

Pakaraguian Kulintang Ensemble, The Iskwelahang Pilipino Rondalla

Struck and Plucked Struck and Plucked
Struck and Plucked
Two ensembles perform music of the Philippines:
Pakaraguian Kulintang Ensemble performs gong-chime music and dances from the southern Philippines, having been formed in 2003 by UCLA alumni with the purpose to represent and educate audiences on the musical and dance traditions of the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). This region includes the cultures of the Maguindanaon, Maranao, Tausug, Sama, and Yakan ethno-linguistic groups.

The Iskwelahang Pilipino Rondalla, formed in 1986 as part of a Filipino cultural school near Boston, is a string ensemble that has become known for incorporating dance and movement into their performances. While the group members change as children graduate from high school, alumni and parents continue to be very active with the rondalla, maintaining the ensemble as multigenerational and community-based. This concert's group is made up of alumni coming together from Canada, Michigan, and Massachusetts in a special reunion to share some of their music.
