Exhibit on Jose Maceda’s music compositions opens

In celebration of its 16th Foundation Anniversary, the University of the Philippines Center for Ethnomusicology’s (UPCE), is holding an exhibit at the UP Vargas Museum until July 26. Entitled Listen to my Music, the exhibit features music compositions of National Artist Jose Maceda and the materials he gathered from the field during his 40-year research called “Ethnomusicological Survey of Music in the Philippines.”

The exhibit seeks to promote the philosophies that Maceda contributed to the field of ethnomusicology, music composition and theory, and cultural studies; engage contemporary artists in exploring the rich ethnographic, musicological and creative traditions of the Filipinos; inspire university engineer-scientists in exploring the multidisciplinarity of Filipinos and involve university students, faculty, researchers and general public in experiencing Maceda’s academic contributions as a collective legacy of the, and for the, Filipino people.
