When you think about classical music in terms of composers, it can get pretty intimidating. But don't let this discourage you from enjoying the sense of calm that only this genre can offer.

I have been a classical music fan as far back as the 90s. 

I would have Vivaldi playing in the background when I've had enough of  Metallica's heavy guitars. :P

I even had a collection of classical mixed cd's I burned with the title "Knorkator: Play In Case Of Emergency". (hahaha)

Nothing quite soothes the same as classical music.

And now, we can enjoy live playing by the Manila Symphony Orchestra as we go through one of life's most stressful (and overstimulating) activities: shopping!

Aside from that our kids can even join a FREE summer workshop and learn from the industry's greats...read on to find out more.

I had a taste of it yesterday at the press launch when we were surprised by wonderful music from the balcony of the second floor as we were having lunch at the atrium. The only word to describe it is beautiful.

I have my moods and sometimes, classical music soothes me. Would be lovely to have that kind of live music while having my lunch, too. ;)

Hi Sarah!, Nice naman ito! So, ito yung binganggit ng daughter ko sa akin.. Will ask her if she wants to join! thanks.. :)
Wow :) oikay yung summer workshop for kids ah.
naalala ko yung bata ako, super napapraning ako kapag nakakakita ako ng piano sa malls. *diba may ganun where you can play the piano or use it. my mom was a pianist kasi and she taught me how to play the piano when i was 5 years old. so yung marunong na ako mag piano, every time may paino sa malls, pinapatugtog nya ako. then pag natugtog ako, maya maya ang dami na nanonood sakin. super natatakot ako magkamali or to hit the wrong notes, kasi nagagalit mama ko dati kapag ganun. pinapalo nya ng ruler yung fingers ko. hehe

I like listening to classical music! Especially when they play it on the piano and sax! It's relaxing. I feel myself floating away to a different time. When I was pregnant with my boy, I used to listen to a lot of it too. :-)
