MiraNila Heritage House & Library in partnership with the Erehwon Center for the Arts and the P. Ilusorio Foundation and in collaboration with Gallery MiraNila by The Blue Leaf proudly presents Cecile Licad Up Close on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at 6:30 p.m.
World-renowned pianist Cecile Licad graces this country in October with her only solo performance in Metro Manila.
Described by The New Yorker as “a pianist’s pianist,” Ms. Licad will play in the garden-surrounded setting of the Gallery MiraNila bringing to life the music of Beethoven, Chopin, Joplin, Liszt, and Schumann as you’ve never before experienced.
Ms. Licad chose romantic and early modern works believing that these will resonate well with her local audiences.
The repertoire will feature Beethoven’s famous Piano Sonata No. 14 (Moonlight) in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 2, nineteen short compositions from Schumann’s Carnaval, Op. 9, Liszt’s St. Francis de Paolo Walking on the Waves, three pieces from American composer Scott Joplin that Ms. Licad’s performed at the Carnegie Hall last December, and Chopin’s “favorite and dearest” of his ballads, Ballade No. 1 in G Minor.
