A few weeks ago, AJ Rafael(YouTube sensation with almost a million subscribers, a Filipino-American singer-songwriter from Riverside, CA ) asked Waraynon Initiative Network (WIN)’s Board Member & VP for Project Planning and Networking, Maxinne Vergara to help out on a project he was doing, which as it turns out was to spearhead a number of performances in East West Players’ first virtual gala (EWP is the longest-running Asian-American theatre company in Los Angeles).
So, a few WIN Orchestra members were tapped to perform in a video to a Disney song (Show Yourself from Frozen II) featuring Deedee Magno Hall and Joan Almedilla. Kudos to the following WIN musicians for this undertaking!
Mak Corpin
Carl Marchel Corpin
Jajan Corpin
Germaine Kempis
Kaela Cecille Omega
JD Damarillo
Alex Alexander Juhan
EJ Tugonon
Khris-Raymond Kempis
Maxinne B. Vergara
Yu-Ting Wu
The music ensemble had to stay small for the purposes of video editing, but the arrangement and orchestration were brilliantly done by both Khris and Alex! It’s exhilarating to see familiar faces playing music again!
They would have been busy in the thick of preparations for a concert which WIN had to cancel due to the pandemic.
