You may raise an eyebrow but symphonic and rock music will be fused together in a concert for a cause on May 2-4.
Fiesta ng Musikang Filipino, an OPM Chronicle, will feature Pinoy rock bands from different eras, including Juan Dela Cruz, Sugarfree, Sinosikat, Radioactive Sago Project, The Dawn, Up Dharma Down, The Jerks and more.
They will be joined by international violinist Lucia Micarelli and the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra.
