CAFASinger's Non-Concert 2016

Hello Guys, 

Not without a tinge of disappointment, I would like to inform you that we have shelved our idea for a CAFASinger concert in 2016. The production details in the plan were not coming together as expected and time for the preparation is going fast.  As the organization of the show was being initiated by the proponents, just too many uncertainties arose in the requirement for the musical component of the show.  

The major proponents of the project are CAFA Fine Arts alumni who had faith in the ability and market draw still of the CAFASingers.  In behalf of the CAFASingers, I would like to thank Pearl, Fe and the Fine Arts organization for their their bold vision and zeal in initiating the project. Likewise kudos to all other CAFAs (we know them) who particularly helped nurture and promote the idea of a concert project. This includes overseas CAFAs Alice, Bess, Nore and Eileen who inspired by expressing their early commitment and support. 

In the end, the main issue was technical.  For the concert to be memorable and worthy, the unique CAFASinger sound was perceived as crucial to provide. Dero, Dinky and Oni worked to look into options and solutions on how to bring this about at this time but in the end it was deemed better to forego.  In writing this report, I was coming out of a resigned state that  I had thought of captioning this Blog “the day the music died”. But I changed my outlook after Alice wrote to me, “music brought the CAFAs together, and thus CAFA future reunions will never have want for music”. 

She's right.  We will make music together again somehow.  Adieu for now and always keep singing even if it’s only karaoke time with family or even alone in the bath!  Mabuhay!
