MASTERCLASS with Johannes Fleischmann. Viennese violinist and NASOM artist Johannes Fleischmann ended his visit to the Philippines with an intensive masterclass with the Pundaquit Virtuosi of CASA San Miguel–a recognized arts and culture center in the province of Zambales founded by Alfonso “Coke” Bolipata (kneeling 2nd from R). Pundaquit Virtuosi String Ensemble was developed by Casa San Miguel Foundation as part of its community-based arts program that seeks to create opportunities for children from humble backgrounds through music and the arts. The Austrian Embassy in Manila aims to continue introducing classical music and New Austrian Sound of Music (NASOM) artists to the Filipino public and youth by organizing musical events, workshops, and master classes together with local cultural institutions and partners and promoting intercultural harmony and exchange through classical music among young people and introduce the vibrant musical culture of Austria.
