UST, FEU ensembles in one concert
The Far Eastern University (FEU) Center for the Arts proudly presents “Tutti Trombone: A Collaborative Concert,” featuring the Thomasian Trombone Choir and the FEU Drum and Bugle Corps (DBC) with Thanapoom Sriwiset of the Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra, New Orleans-based performer Ethan Santos, and FEU DBC’s assistant artistic director Koowie Relevo, on Nov. 18, 6 p.m., at the FEU Auditorium.
The Thomasian Trombone Choir is composed of trombone-playing students from the University of Santo Tomas Conservatory of Music under the tutelage of Ricson Poonin, acting principal trombonist of the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra. The ensemble made its debut earlier this year.
They will perform with the FEU Drum and Bugle Corps, the 89-year-old official marching unit of FEU. The marching Tamaraws are led by their artistic director Kevin Castelo and Relevo. FEU DBC is composed of student artists from various nonmusic courses at the University.
Sriwiset has been the associate principal bass trombonist of the Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra since 2010.
Santos, a Filipino American multi-instrumentalist and an adjunct trombone professor at Tulane University of New Orleans, Louisiana, performed as a bandleader in various jazz festivals in New Orleans.
Relevo, an alumnus of the FEU DBC, will also perform.
Castelo and Relevo have curated a classical, operatic and modern repertoire to showcase the talents of the FEU DBC.
