FEU holds ‘Ang Tangi Kong Ikaw’ concert

The Far Eastern University (FEU) Center for the Arts (FCA) and Far Eastern University Bamboo Band (FBB) presents a special concert titled “Ang Tangi Kong Ikaw,” to be held today at 6 p.m. at the FEU Auditorium.

In commemoration of the 96th anniversary of FEU and the 75th year of the FEU Auditorium, the FBB returns for a free concert featuring some of the most renowned kundiman or Philippine art songs from the past decades.

Last year, the band presented their rendition of famous songs by the renowned British band The Beatles, in a concert titled “Let It BEatles!”

This year, they will showcase their interpretation of several kundiman under the supervision of their artistic director, Norberto Cads Jr., an artist with extensive knowledge of bamboo music who has participated in various international expositions and festivals together with Banda Kawayan Pilipinas.

Members of the FBB from various institutes of the university have come together to prepare the musical pieces for this concert. They have been rehearsing for at least 12 hours a week, throughout the year.
