  The Philippine Consulate General in Xiamen will present Harmony: Philippines-China Friendship in Love Songs and Lullabies。 This unique online event will see Philippine Consul General to Xiamen Maria Antonina Mendoza-Oblena as pianist collaborating with world-class Chinese violist Jing Yang in an afternoon of music and candid conversation celebrating the friendship between the Philippines and China。

  菲律宾驻厦门总领事馆为大家献上“菲中友谊和谐乐章”音乐会。在这场独特的线上活动中,菲律宾驻厦门总领事欧莉娜将演奏钢琴并与中国的世界级中提琴手杨依诺合作,在一个午后的音乐演奏和坦诚的对话中庆祝菲律宾和中国之间的友谊。

  Fujian Province, where Xiamen is located, is the hometown of the majority of the Filipino-Chinese and their ancestors in the Philippines, including Philippine national hero Jose Rizal, and three past Philippine presidents。 Thus, because of their long and deep history, the peoples of the Philippines and China share a lot of common values, culture and traits including family, friendship, music and love。 

  厦门市所在的福建省,是菲律宾民族英雄何塞·黎刹和三任菲律宾前总统等大多数菲律宾华人及其祖先的故乡。因此,由于两国悠久而深厚的历史,两国人民在家庭、友谊、音乐和爱等方面有着许多共同的价值观、文化和特征。

  This online event will merge all these features in perfect Harmony as Consul General Oblena and Miss Yang perform Filipino, Chinese as well as western classical music。 

  本次线上活动将这些特色融合在一起,由欧莉娜总领事和杨依诺女士和谐演绎菲律宾、中国和西方的古典音乐。

  Ms。 Yang is considered one of the three (3) most famous musicians from Gulangyu Island。 She played at the 41st Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee to celebrate the inscription of Gulangyu as a World Cultural Heritage site。  She also won first prize at the Althur Bliss Works Competition in England, second prize at the Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition in Austria and second prize at the Bled Viola International Competition in Slovenia。 She won the prize for “Best Interpretation of a Contemporary Work” at the International Bodensee Music Competition。

  杨依诺女士被认为是鼓浪屿最著名的三位音乐家之一。她曾在联合国教科文组织世界遗产委员会第41届会议上进行演奏,庆祝鼓浪屿被列入世界文化遗产。她曾获英国Althur Bliss比赛第一名,奥地利 Lionel Tertis中提琴比赛第二名,斯洛文尼亚 Bled 中提琴国际比赛第二名。她在国际Bodensee音乐比赛中曾获“当代作品最佳诠释奖”。

  Consul General Oblena finished two Bachelor of Music degrees in Music Education and Piano (both cum laude) at the Conservatory of Music of the University of Santo Tomas (1992 and 1993, respectively)。

  欧莉娜总领事于1992年和1993年分别在菲律宾圣托马斯大学音乐学院以优异成绩获得音乐教育和钢琴两个学士学位。

  Harmony is part of the celebrations of the Philippine Consulate General in Xiamen of the 124th Anniversary of Philippine Independence。 It will be featured online on Saturday, 18 June 2022 via Zoom, Douyin, Wechat and Weibo。
