A Light of the Million Mornings

That was the theme of the Loboc Children's Choir concert we watched last Saturday at the CCP Main Theater. The orchestra ticket came from Tita Ely who is working for Don Bosco which I think is the main pillar behind the Tuloy Foundation where the concert's proceeds is for.

Anyway, the concert started at exactly 8pm. I came to believe that most of the members of the audience are active church members, and all of them seem to know each other very well. Or maybe it's just us (my bespren and I) who didn't know anybody at all.

I thought the concert was brilliant. The Loboc kids sang like angels. I didn't know their other guests aside from Cris Villonco who sang the A Light of the Million Mornings on their finale. They had these guests, a group of kids who played the violin supported by some senior violinists who was there on the stage for like 30 minutes. And honestly, I have not learned ever how to appreciate violin. I mean, I recognized all the efforts of these kids, their talents and all, but I just can't appreciate it. While they're playing, I secretly glanced at the entire orchestra and I've seen like 5 people sleeping who'll just wake up through the audience' appalause.

During the 10 minute break, we went to the lobby and there on the second floor was a lantern exhibit. It's very beautiful I must say! Filipinos are really so creative and inventive.

Pictures! Pictures!
