HR02028: A RESOLUTION CONGRATULATING AND COMMENDING THE MANILA SYMPHONY JUNIOR ORCHESTRA FOR WINNING GOLD AT THE 2021 VIENNA MUSIC FESTIVAL
This resolution extends congratulations and commendation to the Manila Symphony Junior Orchestra (MSJO) for winning the gold award in category "B" of the Vienna-based World Orchestra Festival, held online from June 12 to 26, 2021. The MSJO, established in 2014 as the youth orchestra program of the Manila Symphony Orchestra, comprises advanced students and young string players from across the Philippines. They secured the award by submitting a video of their 2019 performance in Seoul, Korea, playing three movements from Dvorak's Serenade in E. The MSJO has a history of international recognition, having won second place in 2017 and first place in 2018 at the Summa Cum Laude International Youth Music Festival in Vienna.
The impact of this resolution on the people is substantial as it highlights the exceptional talent of young Filipino musicians on an international platform, increasing global awareness of their excellence. This achievement serves as a timely inspiration for all young Filipinos, especially those in the Philippine music industry, to push boundaries and further elevate the quality of Filipino musicianship and creativity. By formally recognizing such accomplishments, the resolution reinforces national pride and encourages continued investment in and support for local musical talent.
