Manila, Philippines - The country’s up-and-coming classical artists take center stage on May 28 at 6 pm in the Soloists Night, the culminating concert of the 17th Pundaquit Festival at Casa San Miguel in San Antonio, Zambales.

They will be accompanied by the Pundaquit Virtuosi and pianist Jourdann Petalver.

The concert is preceded at 4 p.m. by exhibits at the Siemens Gallery featuring the best works among workshop participants of Casa San Miguel’s visual arts and creative writing program. Citations to sponsors and conferment of The Young Artist of the Year Award will be given during the concert.
