As the year wraps up towards Christmas, the stylish regulars of The Peninsula Manila await with eager anticipation for the hotel’s annual serenade of classical and holiday-themed music. One of Metro Manila’s most enduring holiday traditions, this musical extravaganza transforms the elegant meeting place and social destination of the hotel lobby into a grand concert hall.
In partnership with SSI Group, Inc., Citibank, and Philippine Tatler and in cooperation with Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) and Lexus, The Peninsula Manila presents its landmark 34th season of “Christmas Concert at The Pen” on Sunday, December 10, 2017. At this unique cultural event, the music strikes up at 5:00 pm with a 65-piece symphony orchestra that no other hotel has been able to match.
The holiday season concert features the world-renowned Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra (PPO) under the baton of Maestro Ruggero Barbieri, who will be flying in from Italy especially for this concert. The presentation is also under the concert direction of Freddie Santos. With a classical and contemporary repertoire that is sure to get festive spirits rightly tuned for the days of celebration ahead, the concert showcases a stellar cast.
