MASQUERADE
Concert-Recital at the Yuchengco Museum
The Masquerade concert-recital, held at the Yuchengco Museum’s Y Space, was a memorable evening that showcased the incredible talent of 23 young classical musicians. The event featured a diverse mix of classical and contemporary works, demonstrating the performers’ technical skill and versatility.
From intricate solo pieces to dynamic group performances, the concert celebrated youth, passion, and musical excellence. The musicians were accompanied by renowned pianist Prof. Mary Anne Espina, adding depth and richness to the program. The audience responded warmly, applauding the dedication and artistry of the young performers.
In addition to the musical performances, the event featured an exhibit of Wacom digital products, showcasing digital artwork by Iana Cadhit. Born with CHARGE syndrome, a rare condition affecting multiple organs, Iana has faced significant challenges but continues to inspire with her remarkable strength, determination, and creativity. At 18 years old, Iana, who is legally blind and deaf, uses a cochlear implant to navigate the world. Despite these obstacles, she is an avid reader, writer, and artist.
Iana’s artwork, inspired by her love for anime and animals—including wolves, horses, llamas, and zebras—was displayed on digital platforms, offering a glimpse into her vibrant imagination and boundless curiosity. Her journey, marked by resilience and creativity, was an inspiring part of the evening, reminding everyone of the power of art and the human spirit.
