MANILA -- Internationally acclaimed classical pianist Cecile Licad is set to hold an online performance next month.
The show, billed as "Amore: A Post-Valentine Hour with Cecile Licad in New York," will be held on Zoom at 5 p.m. on February 22.
From the ballroom of The Lotos Club in New York, Licad will perform Frederic Chopin’s Études Op.10 No.3 in E major "Farewell L' Adieu," Ludwig van Beethoven’s Sonata No. 14 in C Sharp Minor (Moonlight Sonata), and Sergie Rachmaninoff’s Prelude op.32 No. 8 in a Minor, Prelude op.23 No.6 in E Flat Major, and Prelude op.23 No.5 in G Minor.
The second half of the performance showcases Soul’s Lament (Hibik sa Diwa) by Francisco Buencamino, and Chopin’s Scherzo No. 2 in B-Flat Minor and Ballade No. 1 in G Minor.
"Amore," which will also feature an interview with Licad's fellow pianist David Dubal, will benefit Philippine Philharmonic Society Inc. (PPOSI).
