The #99ULocalMNL Experience! AKA The Best Way To End Hump Day!

-
Just came from a 99U Local event and I'd say that Manila needs more of this!



99U is by Behance and it is a creative space where people could be motivated and get acquainted with others who just might be their future collaborators so they can make ideas happen.

To start the evening of connecting and even reconnecting, 3 speakers told their inspirational stories of success to the select group of 200.

No, I am not worthy to retell their stories. I suggest that you follow and witness how these awesome individuals continue to create the great:





Just a quick trivia about 99U Local:



Yes! Manila is a hand-picked city and is one of the 28 (only!) that is hosting a 99U Local event! The MeetUp page had to be regulated because of the number of registrants that wanted to be a part of this great night. Registrants became applicants and only a select 200 were given the chance enter Ayala Museum.



Overflowing food and relaxing entertainment made the evening more conducive to knowing and connecting with other amazing people inside Ayala Museum.







Relive the night by searching #99ULocalMNL on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

99U Local Manila is co-presented by 99U, Muni, and Ayala Museum.

Definitely looking forward to the next 99U event in Manila!

Before a single note is played, there is already a journey waiting to unfold, one that moves not through space, but through centuries of sound. On January 21, the Far Eastern University Center for the Arts opens the doors of the FEU Auditorium to that journey with Tones Through Time: A Musical Odyssey , a free admission informational piano concert led by internationally acclaimed pianist and educator Dr. Raffi Kasparian . This is not simply a recital. It is an invitation to listen with context, to hear how Western music grew, shifted, and responded to the world across generations. Through carefully chosen works and thoughtful narration, the concert traces the evolution of musical language from the Baroque period to the 20th century, guiding audiences through Classical balance, Romantic emotion, Impressionistic color, and modern experimentation. The result is an experience designed not only to be heard, but understood. Listening as Learning Tones Through Time: A Musical Odyssey is buil...
