Manupali String Machine Concert

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” –Plato

For some, music is more than just a form of entertainment, but rather, a very essential element of life, it does not only bring relaxation and joy in us but it helps us escape reality by bringing us to another dimension where our mind and our feelings collide. Indeed, music is the food of our soul.

Last Friday evening, July 20, 2018, hearts were filled with warmth when the Manupali String Machine serenaded the crowd at the M.T. Oliverio Hall with their harmonious music as they started playing their musical instruments under the management of the Concert Master, Ms. Abigail Eve Simbolon. The said concert was organized with the aim to raise funds for the Hilltop Chamber Orchestra.

The concert started at 7:15 in the evening. The opening prayer by Criscel Leo Garilva marked the commencement of the said event. The group performed wholeheartedly, bringing to the spectators their rendition of religious songs.
