WARAYNON INITIATIVE NETWORK proudly presents HALAD (Offering) on July 23, 2016 at the Barnsdall Gallery Theatre featuring the undeniable vocal talent of RACHEL CULLARI.
“It was no coincidence that 4 years ago when Rachel was looking for a new Parish, she wandered into Cathedral Chapel of St. Vibiana and was immediately struck by the talent of the Friends in Harmony choir, many of whom you’ll see on stage at this concert. Although she is not native to the Philippines, she is passionate about the Waraynon Initiative Network (WIN) and its fundraising efforts for the preservation of the unique Waray culture, as well as the upcoming medical mission in Tacloban City in 2017. Rachel would like to say “salamat” to the members of WIN for accepting her as an honorary Filipina, with special thanks to musical director, Melvin Corpin, for giving her the opportunity to perform such incredible arrangements. Lastly, she would like to thank God for blessing her with the gift of music. Maybe next year she’ll finally attempt to sing some Waray!”
