Property developer Ayala Land Inc. will celebrate the first anniversary of its Samsung Performing Arts Theater in Circuit Makati with a concert and a fund raising activity.
The show, titled Open Doors, will be held on the evening of July 14.
As fund raiser, the activity benefits deserving artists and community groups.
Proceeds from ticket sales will go towards venue grants that cut the rental cost for community-based groups, which is currently a barrier to accessing a world-class space like the Samsung Performing Arts Theater.
“We believe that the opportunity to perform on a stage such as ours will not only boost creativity but also broaden artistic dreams and ambitions. It all begins when someone opens the door,” Christopher Mohnani, director of the Samsung Performing Arts Theater, said.
Inaugurated a year ago, the theater has become an accessible venue for Filipino artists who no longer need to leave the country to perform on world-class stages.
Over the past year, the theater has nurtured a broad spectrum of productions, from homegrown Filipino musicals and touring productions to box-office concerts.
In a year, the Samsung Performing Arts Theater has transformed the landscape of the performing arts in the Philippines, creating a platform for artists to showcase their talents.
The evening will be headlined by Regine Velasquez and will feature performances from the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philippine Madrigal Singers, Alice Reyes Dance Philippines, Steps Dance Studio, Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo, Markki Stroem, Soprano Lara Maigue and Poppert Bernardas.
The evening will also feature special appearances from National Artists Alice Reyes and Ryan Cayabyab. This event is part of the year-long celebration of Circuit Makati’s 10th anniversary.
