A NIGHT OF FINE MUSIC: Over 2,000 music enthusiasts led by Senators Franklin Drilon (3rd from left), Paolo Benigno “Bam” Aquino IV (not in photo) and Risa Hontiveros (3rd from right) give the Manila Symphony Orchestra (MSO) a standing ovation after their performance at the Iloilo Convention Center on August 26, 2017. Dubbed as “Symphonies and Soundtracks,” the 55-ensemble orchestra, performing under the baton of Maestro Arturo Molina, played soundtracks from the hit television series “Game of Thrones” and “Harry Potter”. The MSO is one of the first orchestras in Asia, established by Viennese conductor Alexander Lippay in 1926. (PRIB Photo by Joseph Vidal)
