Watching people, especially children, play music is always a joy. The National Music Competitions for Young Artists {NAMCYA} National Finals Week coincides with the National Music Week celebrations on the last week of November and it is the perfect opportunity to watch and appreciate music and Filipino artists.
To be held on November 21-26, 2017, the Cultural Center of the Philippines shall welcome young artists, musicians, trainors, and teachers who have reached the finals level in a nationwide competition that started early this year. Six ensembles presenting their region’s local traditions will also be presented in the Traditional Music Concert.
With generous support from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts {NCCA}, the Cultural Center of the Philippines {CCP}, the Department of Education {DepEd} and the Commission on Higher Education {CHED}, the week-long events will include competitions, outreach performances, and culminating and awarding concerts for solo instrument winners and group winners.
