Your presence would be most honored if you can come to the auspicious concert of the award-winning Hail Mary the Queen Children’s Choir under the direction of Maria Theresa Roldan where they will showcase their choral prowess and perform delightful music composed by Joy Nilo, Jed Balsamo, Lester Delgado, Ronaldo Raz, and Alejandro Consolacion II.  A book signing shall follow immediately after the program.

The first public appearance of Kompositor with the publication of its first book “Pagbubunyi” and the free debut concert at the Central United Methodist Church in Manila on 11 November 2012 was attended by some of the country’s prestigious choirs – a clear testament of overwhelming support from colleagues and friends in the music industry.  In the 2^nd series “Paggunita”, the book launch and free concert on 11 February 2013 was graced by the world-renowned Philippine Madrigal Singers and Philippine National Artist for Literature, Dr. Bienvenido Lumbera, at the EDSA Shrine courtesy of Fr. Nilo Mangussad.
