After a period of more than 20 years, a solo harp concert by a Filipino harpist will take place. Jane Banta finished her Master of Music degree in Harp Performance in 2017 after a two-year program at the State University of New York as a recipient of the Len and Carole Faulk Scholarship. She actively performs as a harpist for symphony orchestras, chamber orchestras and wind and other ensembles. She is most seen regularly playing the harp as a program musician of the PPO.  Be part Jane’s solo concert at the CCP!   

Madeline Jane Banta earned her Master of Music degree, major in Harp Performance in 2017 at the State University of New York after a two-year program as a recipient of the Len and Carole Faulk Scholarship.

She started harp lessons in Manila with Vienna-trained harpist Lourdes de Leon-Gregorio, already armed with a Bachelor of Music degree, major in Piano Performance (magna cum laude) from St. Scholastica's College, and a Bachelor in Arts major in Social Sciences degree from the Ateneo de Manila University. The year after she started harp lessons, she was already invited to play in the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra's (PPO) season concert as part of the orchestra, alongside her teacher.  Since then, she has regularly been playing the harp as a program musician of the PPO and the Manila Symphony Orchestra.  She also played harp with the UST Symphony Orchestra, the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra, and Grupo 20/21 as well as in concerts in Union Church Manila and University of the Philippines' Abelardo Hall, and in Philamlife with the Las Piñas Boys' Choir.

While earning her harp degree in the United States,   she was also Graduate Assistant for Piano from 2016-2017, frequently collaborating with Music majors in performances, exams and graduation recitals, and playing with the Wind Symphony.

As a pianist, she played as soloist with the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra in 2003, as part of its conductor's search. Aside from being active as piano instructor and collaborative pianist, she also works in the world of musical theatre. She has played the keyboard for the major theater companies in Manila: Repertory Philippines, NineWorks Productions, Resorts World, Upstart Productions, Atlantis, and Concertus. Shows include the Manila run of Wicked, Spamalot, Rent, The King and I, Scrooge, The Sound of Music, Kaos, Cinderella, La Cage Aux Folles, The Fantasticks, Shrek, The Producers, A Christmas Carol and the rerun of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

WifiBody.ph 2018 is a choreographers’ competition under the CCP Choreographers’ Series, a three-part platform in support of the Filipino choreographer. The competition is for the solo-duet form because we believe that the intimacy and conciseness of these forms pushes choreographers to bare their choreographic vision. Wifi Body.ph dedicates itself to discovering new choreographic talent and featuring emerging choreographers and is the first tier of the CCP Choreographers’ Series, a project for Filipino choreographers jointly curated by Myra Beltran and Denisa Reyes.

Cultural Center of the Philippines TRIPLE THREATS I Ze Papu and Mamu Show!

16 August 2018; 7:30pm Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (CCP Little Theater)

The 90 minute show features husband and wife Theater artists Juliene and Stella Mendoza. Papu and Mamu as they are lovingly referred to among friends, both have their beginnings in Dulaang UP.  Although they are not as visible in mainstream media, they are long time theater practitioners and accomplished actors in their own right. Stella Canete was part of the Asian tour of Miss Saigon in the 1990’s. Juliene Mendoza is a recipient of a Gawad Buhay Award.

The show is part story telling and part variety show. The 90 minute concert will narrate the story of how these two artists came together and became husband and wife, mixed in with music spanning generations that will cater to both young and old alike.

It is a recognition of their roots as actors, featuring  the talents of Dulaang UP “babies”, from the Lights Design to the New talents from the Dulaang UP Ensemble, showing gratitude to the years of training and accomplishment on the Dulaang UP stage.

Ze Papu and Mamu Show as the title suggests will be a wonderful “extravaganza” of music, dance and theater. Jon Santos will kick off the show on video as the Philipine and American Presidents. It will also highlight an excerpt from their recent play, George de Jesus’s “Kunag Paano Maghiwalay.”

Ticket prices: Php1,200 | Php1,000

Froilan Calayag  SIGNS OF LIFE

1 August to 9 September 2018 Pasilyo Guillermo Tolentino (3F Hallway Gallery)

Opening reception: 1 August, Wednesday, 6pm

Signs of Life is an exhibition that offers a threefold manifest. The first is the fictional account of a boy who finds a rock, an asteroid where one can mine life from. The second is the story of the man who has pursued the field of art, but has somehow been decidedly missing from the center of it. He persists, same as before, and yet does not often come out to the surface. And the third is the idea of painting within the confusing and multifaceted context of contemporary art. Is there still life there?

The exhibit may be viewed daily from Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 6pm. For more information, contact the Visual Arts & Museum Division at landlines (632)8321-125 local 1504 & 1505, or [phone], mobile [phone], or email [email protected].
