Manila Symphony Orchestra (MSO) begins their 2012 Concert Series with Violinist Regina Buenaventura performing on July 6 at the Francisco Santiago Hall, BDO Corporate Center in Makati, and on July 7 at the Philam Life Auditorium in Manila. Arturo Molina is conducting for both shows at 8pm.  MSO brings to life an exciting and colorful dreamworld bursting with vibrant music, where ambition and fantasy become a reality as the orchestra performs Dukas' The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Kodaly's Hary Janos, and Barber's Violin Concerto, featuring violinist Regina Buenaventura.
