Classical Music theater show in Makati: Good Ode Classics (TIU Theater)

If you happen to be in Makati, and you are looking for a world class performance that can take your mind off things then TIU theater is the place for you.

TIU theater is providing varying shows from Rap Musical plays like Bakata, to Classical Musical productions that serenade guests and takes them to memory lane of their favorite Disney Classical music.

Last April 23, 2016, we took the time to visit TIU theater, they are providing free shows for the public, and they are able to do this with the help of major sponsorship from companies like UNIQLO and other frequent sponsors who believe in the culture and the arts.



Good Ode Classics: Songs from Disney are featuring new talents, despite being a free show it is still carefully planned out and prepared for.

The show started with the Star Wars Main theme music, this was played by Earl Reyes, a guitarist and one of the regular casts of Good Old Classics show at TIU theater.




After this, the show presented Adriana Avecilla, a female Filipino soprano, she sang the song "When She Loved Me", this song was written by Randy Newman and is a hit song from Pixar 2.

Other power sopranos like Gabriela Vasquez and Raccianne Elorde were also in the show. Audience were serenaded with Disney hit songs like God Help the Outcasts from  The Hunchback of Notre Dame,  Love Will find a way and the favorite hit song Let is Go in the Disney hit film "Frozen".




The classical music show started out weak, but was able to finish strong and I was able to appreciate the thought that was put into it.

TIU Theater is providing monthly free shows in order to increase art appreciation in the Philippines, and also to increase the chances of Filipino- Japanese artist collaboration.

Good Old Classics is just one of the many shows that audience can expect from this one of a kind theater.

TIU theater works in line with Creative Image Foundation, this is a non-profit organization that was created by Toshihiko Uriu.



 The vision and mission is to help impoverished children in the Philippines to gain access to art, singing and dancing workshops that will allow them to hone their talents in the future.

Good Old Classics project on the other hand aims to feature emerging local artists here in Metro Manila.

This Classical music shows features power sopranos and tenors like  Isaac Iglesias, Nicole Pueda,  Janina Casuncad,  Evean Lozada, Adriana Avecilla, Danielle dela Rosa, Allan Castro and many more that people can watch out and look out for in the coming months.




TIU theater will be unveiling more power talents from Philippine locals and artists from different parts of Asia.



TIU is providing a new stage for more artists to emerge, it is changing the way we see theater performances as a whole and even provides it for free.

It deserves to get noticed.




TIU theater strives to create a one of a kind experience, their ushers are welcoming and the facilities provided while inside the theater are at par.

I could not help but admire the way TIU theater and its staff are doing their way to deliver world class shows for Filipinos and other expats to enjoy while they are in the Philippines.

I am fond of writing about theater performances and shows that people can enjoy. Art appreciation and investing our time in art helps fulfill our soul.

While Metro Manila, creates massive urban stress due to the landscape and lifestyle, there are simple joys that can still be found in here.

Know your local artist: Khervin John Gallandez : The Ilocano Artist

Khervin John Gallandez is an emerging visual artist from Ilocos. It has been a personal advocacy to share the amazing people I have met while on the road Khervin John Gallandez, is one of the many hopefuls in the local art industry— and he is definitely worth our time. He has focus and determination and young artists can learn a lot from his willingness to evolve when it comes to his craft. Q&A : At what age did you first realize that you wanted to become an artist? I started to draw at the age of 7, as far as I remember.  I draw simple houses with my cousins. My mother was a disciplinarian before, and she provides used papers for me to draw/scribble instead of me going out and playing around. When my father came back in Philippines from working abroad, he brought set of encyclopedias for me to read.  It was then the first time that I read about paintings of the old masters (e.g. Leonardo Da Vinci, Van Gogh and others) which gave me my

Origami Pilipinas: Changing the Country one paper fold at a time

MAY 22 TIU theater is an artist hub located in Makati, and I was given the chance to watch Bakata: The Battle of Street Poets, a play produced by  Toshihiko Uriu  -   The play was a huge success and is predicted to turn into a Philippine classic, but I am writing this article right now to highlight another story that occurred inside the TIU theater.  A collaboration piece that helped produce the effect of the wonder called Bakata. I noticed the glow of the lanterns and the paper cranes highlighted in the stage design, it had the flair and flamboyant but subtle effect that was needed in order to make the stage look just perfect for the story line.  Leo R Natividad is the President and Owner of Origami Pilipinas.  I was fortunate to meet members like  L. River Butay, Adonis dela Cruz as well as Jose Monzales and other volunteers who continue to strengthen Origami Pilipinas. Origami Pilipinas and their Advocacy: Origami Pilipinas, was founded out of pa

Why you need to visit the Bamboo Intramuros

There are very few places in Metro Manila that would make you feel relaxed and one with nature . I was fortunate enough to meet one of the legendary owners of  Bamboo Grande franchise.  Honesto Deuda aka Ka-Oni  is well loved by friends, acquaintances and people who have met him from different walks of life.  He co-owns some of the best bar and restaurants in Metro Manila. Ka Oni is known for creating inspiring and bars that have soul, spunk and spirit.  He has been conceptualizing organic looking resto bars for more than 10 years now. Ka- Oni's creations are noticeable because the resto bars that he creates are made out of love for music and the arts. His process is different, Ka Oni  creates the vision for the restaurants but does not need to put them on paper, they are directly executed from his imagination to reality.   Ka Oni was already featured in Mabuhay International Magazine for the amazing work that he has done with his surrounding commun
