'Resonant Spaces' brings intimate music to The Proscenium Black Box
“Resonant Spaces: An Orchestra of the Filipino Youth (OFY) Chamber Concert” marks a milestone moment at the Black Box at The Proscenium Theater, an exciting new venue equipped with Vivace acoustics—a design that ensures warmth, clarity, and intimacy in sound. This setting is the perfect stage for chamber music, where every note and nuance resonates directly between performers and audience.
In this concert, conducted by Gerard Salonga, Franz Ramirez, and Jasper Andra, the OFY explores the unique voices of chamber ensembles—strings, winds, brass, and percussion. Unlike a full symphony orchestra, chamber music places each musician in a role of greater responsibility. With fewer instruments, individual parts are more exposed, dialogue between players is more immediate, and interpretation relies on shared leadership and trust. The result is an intimate, vivid, and dynamic musical experience that bridges centuries of repertoire and styles.
In “Resonant Spaces,” chamber music becomes a bridge across time and style—Baroque echoes, Romantic lyricism, 20th-century grandeur, and contemporary exploration—all converging within the walls of the Proscenium Black Box. More than a concert, it is a celebration of dialogue: between instruments, musicians, and audience, brought to life in a venue designed to make every sound resonate.
“Resonant Spaces” is a pre-opening chamber concert of The Proscenium Black Box and will take place on Sunday, Nov. 23, 2025, at 5 p.m.
