On behalf of the Board of Trustees of The Francisco Buencamino Sr. Music Foundation, Inc. (FBMFI), we are pleased to announce a premiere cultural “Double Event” on March 28, 2008 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), marking the 125th Birth Anniversary of Francisco Buencamino, Sr., the patriarch of the Buencamino clan, described by National Artist Lucrecia R. Kasilag as a well-loved and great composer belonging to the rank of national treasures in Philippine music, and the 40th year as a concert pianist of internationally acclaimed artist, Cecile Buencamino Licad.
Organized in 1989 to honor the memory of the noted composer, FBMFI assists musically talented students and teachers through its Scholarship and Masters Workshop Programs. Throughout these past years, the Foundation has provided scholarships to music students in a number of colleges and universities, including the University of the Philippines, Centro Escolar University, St. Scholastica’s College and the Philippine Women’s University. Its Masters Workshop Program has brought to the Philippines internationally renowned musical pedagogues who have conducted training seminars aimed at enhancing and upgrading the skills of music teachers in the country.
In partnership with the CCP, the FBMFI is pleased to present a piano concert featuring Ms. Cecile Licad at the Nicanor Abelardo Hall of the CCP at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, March 28, 2008.
