SUMMARY:Sari-Sari Storybooks With Music\, at Church In the Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Sari-Sari Storybooks With Music – Saturday\, October 28\, 2023 at 2 pm – WORLD PREMIERE \nThese magical children’s books take the reader on a journey through the Philippines\, from Batanes to Cebu\, Leyte to Zamboanga City. “Melo the Umang-Boy: an Ivatan Tale” tells the story of a painfully shy little boy living with his grandmother and uncle. One day he visits a magical\, busy city on the bottom of the ocean\, filled with talking sea creatures. Disaster strikes the city\, and he must overcome his shyness to help the sea creatures rebuild. “Kalipay and the Tiniest Tiktik: a Cebuano Tale” shows us how friendship can overcome differences and create happiness for everyone. Daydreaming comes easily to Kalipay\, but she doesn’t know how to make bullies leave her alone. One day\, she makes an unusual new friend in Gamay\, who tells the school bully\, Juan\, to stop teasing Kalipay. Other children are afraid of Gamay—her strange tongue\, split body\, and bat wings—but Kalipay is fascinated by the things that make her new friend different. “Amina and the City of Flowers: a Chavacano Tale” Tells the tale of Amina\, a young Yakan weaver\, who is homesick for Basilan; but she finds inspiration for her loom in the diversity and color of her new home\, Zamboanga City. \nThe books are read by actors Bing Magtoto and Patrick Elizalde\, and accompanied by live music composed by Melinda Faylor. Featuring stunning artwork by many Filipino artists\, the artwork for each story will also be projected for the audience during the reading. The music for Sari-Sari Storybooks is inspired by the provinces of the Philippines in which all of the stories take place. The instrumentation is piano and electronics\, including a variety of samples of Filipino instruments and other sounds inspired by the stories. Sari-Sari Storybooks are published and written by Christina Newhard\, along with co-author Alyssa Sarmiento-Co and illustrators Jaypee Portez\, Happy Garaje\, and Robbie Bautista. \nSigned books will be available for purchase at the event through Kew & Willow. \nFunding for this project is made possible in part thanks to the New Music USA Creator Fund grant and the Queens Art Fund New Work grant\, administered by NYFA and the DCLA. \nWe request that you “purchase” your free ticket through eventbrite to hold your reservation. Please consider making a donation at checkout on Eventbrite or at the door when attending the concert. Your donations help keep these concerts free for the community. \nMore info on the full season can be found by visiting musicareginae.org \n“Like” us on Facebook and Instagram for updates.
