[Title] => Cecile Licad, son in Castillo’s PPO season / Elielle needs sponsors!
[Summary] => As expected, PPO music director-principal conductor Eugene Castillo has conceptualized haute voltage, innovative programs for the PPO’s 23rd season. Meeting the press at the Hyatt Hotel-Casino Manila, Castillo said the concert "Drama Unfolds" on Sept. 8 at the CCP auditorium will feature as guest soloist Jay Hassler, principal clarinetist of The Producers on Broadway, in Copland’s jazzy Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra. Other numbers will be Brahms’ Symphony No. 3 in F Major and Ravel’s ballet music Daphnis et Chloe Suite No.

[Title] => From Big Ben to H’wood / Australian Festival 2006 / Bing Pimentel’s musical
[Summary] => The concert "From Big Ben to Hollywood" at the CCP main theater opened with PPO conductor Eugene Castillo rendering Mark Anthony Turnage’s "Three Screaming Popes". To describe a painting in words is difficult enough; to describe music that describes a painting is doubly so.
The painting "Three Screaming Popes" by Francis Bacon is based on Velasquez’s Pope Innocent X. Bacon, according to the composer, had distorted and restated Velasquez, thus making the music even more daunting.

[Title] => New vs old
[Summary] => The sparse audience at St. Cecilia’s Hall seemed to indicate the rather slow progress in the determined effort of PPO conductor-music director Eugene Castillo to make conventional music lovers take to contemporary music. On the other hand, does Castillo merely need more aggressive press announcements of his concerts?

[Title] => An auspicious debut for Eugene Castillo
[Summary] => Eugene Castillo has wielded the baton over the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra on past occasions, but his performance last Friday at the CCP main theater was his official debut, a most auspicious one, as the PPO’s new principal conductor — music director. The significant event became even more so, opening as it did PPO’s 21st season and coinciding with the CCP’s 35th anniversary.

[Title] => Will Eugene Castillo work wonders with the PPO?
[Summary] => Filipino-American conductor Eugene Castillo formally took over the leadership of the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra during the orchestra’s opening concert for 2004-2005 last Friday. The concert, dubbed Coming Home, made much of Castillo’s return to the Philippines to offer Filipino concert goers "music for our time," as Cultural Center of the Philippines board chair Emily Abrera described it. For the next four years, Castillo will be leading the PPO, the country’s premier symphony orchestra, as its music director and principal conductor.

[Title] => Castillo’s sway over two formidable works
[Summary] => Da Capo means "from the beginning", and the concert bearing this term as title marked the start of the FEBC and the DZFE 56 and 50 years ago, respectively.
The event was also billed as "a special Maestro Filipino presentation" which FEBC President Dan Andrew Cura described as a "soft debut" for Eugene Castillo who was appearing at the CCP auditorium for the first time as conductor of the PPO.

[Title] => Santamaria, Castillo in brilliant ‘contest’
[Summary] => What may have been the first significant event in DLSU’s Teresa G. Yuchengco auditorium in the nine-story Don Enrique Yuchengco edifice — this donated by son Ambassador Alfonso Y. Yuchengco — was Friday’s 8th Romantic Piano Concerto Journey.
Soloist Ingrid Santamaria and new PPO conductor Eugene Castillo brilliantly rose to the challenge of two virtuosic concerti: Rachmaninoff’s C Minor and Tschaikovsky’s B Flat Major.

[Title] => The Voluntary Pinoy
[Summary] => Everyone who heard about it was incredulous at the news. Who would–at this confusing, convoluted, confounding time–choose to take on Filipino citizenship under the new dual citizenship law? When Pinoys by the dozens are looking for a ticket out, who in his right mind would voluntarily climb on board our little banca?

[Title] => Revisiting Ballet Philippines’ history
[Summary] => For five performances early this month, Ballet Philippines, together with the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra and the Philippine Madrigal Singers, attempted the rare feat of combining dance, music and song on one stage in Icons, its second offering for its 2003-2004 season.
The centerpiece of Icons was Alice Reyes’ Carmina Burana, a grand ballet that utilizes the secular cantata by Carl Orff as its backdrop. First staged in 1974 to critical acclaim, it was restaged after 30 years by Ida Beltran-Lucila.
