INDEPENDENT was a Stages Sessions produced concert featuring Bullet Dumas, Keiko Necesario, Gio Levy, Coeli, Tom’s Story and Curtismith at the Globe Auditorium, BGC Arts Center. In collaboration with the Ted Amper and the Manila String Machine, these amazing young independent artists were able to, for one night only, play with a mini-orchestra and horn ensemble to elevate and heighten their sound and original music compositions. What better way to spend Philippine Independence Weekend than to celebrate Original Filipino Music!
