Musicians who play any of the following instruments are encouraged to join: Strings (violin, viola, cello and double bass), Woodwinds (flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon), Brass (trumpet, trombone, French horn and tuba), and Percussion (tympani and drums).
Ever since the Asian Journal announced the formation of FASO a few weeks ago, many talented Filipino musicians from Southern California have been joining the weekly rehearsals. The present members are a mix of young musicians and veteran chamber orchestra virtuosos who have all been excited at the prospect of being a part of a dream come true.
Bob Shroder said he is very happy about the turn-out so far, but they want more to join. “We welcome everyone—even non-Filipinos, high school and college students—to join. So long as you can play a musical instrument well, you can be a part of our group. Our goal at FASO is to form 2 groups—a junior and a senior group. We have had two rehearsals already and I can say that we’ve made very good progress.” Bob said.
Rehearsals are held every Tuesday at the SIPA office at Temple St, Historic Filipinotown. For more details, call Andy Tecson at (213)-300-4870 or Bob Shroder at (818) 395- 8936.
