I love music, especially the classical one. With children that are performing artist, classical is the only way to go. But what if you can turn a pop into a classical. I was invited to watch a show, that in one way was close to my heart, the tenors of classical music. The show featured the The Angelo’s .The Angelos is a classical-pop tenor group composed of young, vibrant and good-looking Filipino artists: from left to right- Paolo Libiran, Louie Abaigar, George S. Tagle.
The event was held at the No Other Bar located at Metrowalk, Ortigas Pasig. I was supposed to just drop by but the music they played made my feet glued to the ground and myself sit comfortable in the sofa. It was a night of entertain and passion.
They are not new to the music scene.
