Maestro Ryan Cayabyab & A Thousand Voices
The Maestro. The Disney legend. More than a thousand voices. A sixty-piece orchestra. Festive Filipino Christmas melodies.
All these magical elements came together in a rare Christmas musical spectacular dubbed as MAESTRO RYAN CAYABYAB AT 'SANG LIBO'T ISANG TINIG NG PASKO: The Araneta Christmas Special last Saturday, November 19 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Ms. Lea Salonga led the formidable cast of performers and the powerful voices of the award-winning choirs in the land in a Christmas special that featured best-loved traditional Filipino Christmas carols. Viewers experienced the true Christmas joy and spirit through traditional classics such as "Kampana ng Simbahan", "Himig Pasko", "Heto Na Naman ang Pasko", "Noche Buena", "Kumukuti-kutitap" and many more. Apart from Disney legend Ms. Lea Salonga, Kapamilya artists KC Concepcion, Piolo Pascual, Ariel Rivera, Jed Madela, Angeline Quinto, Marcelino Pomoy, along with JM Rodriguez and Rachelle Gerodias performed the holiday inspired musical numbers. Child stars Zaijan Jaranilla and Mutya also had a special participation in the show. The special was hosted by Miss Universe finalists Ms. Venus Raj and Shamcey Supsup. Johnny Manahan directed.
MAESTRO RYAN CAYABYAB AT 'SANG LIBO'T ISANG TINIG NG PASKO: The Araneta Christmas Special is a dream come true on several levels. The project is a brainchild of Araneta Group Vice Chair Mrs. Judy Araneta Roxas who chanced upon a television interview of Cayabyab articulating that his dream project is a concert of a thousand voices at the Big Dome. Mrs. Roxas decided to fulfill that lifelong dream of Cayabyab. Mr. C as he is fondly called, decided to invite the "thousand and one voices" of several award-winning choirs of the Philippine Choral Directors Association comprising choirs of active PCDA members from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. The sixty-piece Manila Symphony Orchestra composed of the best musicians of the land accompanied the thousand voices.
The musical special also showed the different transformations that the Araneta Center is undergoing as part of its Master Plan. It highlighted the many reasons why the Araneta Center has become a part of the Filipinos’ Christmas memory.
MAESTRO RYAN CAYABYAB AT SANG LIBO'T ISANG TINIG NG PASKO: The Araneta Center Christmas Special aired the following day, November 20 at ABS-CBN's Sunday's Best.
It is presented by the Araneta Center, SMART Araneta Coliseum, ABS-CBN, Meralco, Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen, Taco Bell, Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc., Gateway Mall, Ali Mall, Farmers Plaza and Farmers Market.
