San Diego will come alive on Oct. 28 as the Mingei International Museum in Balboa Park reverberates with the melodies of traditional Filipino music.

Presented by the Samahan Filipino American Performing Arts and Education Center, “Struck and Plucked” promises an unforgettable evening of rondalla and kulintang music to offer a glimpse of Filipino culture.

This special event will transport you to the heart of the Philippines through rich melodies and rhythms from traditional Filipino musical ensembles. In particular, two unique Filipino musical traditions will take center stage. Rondalla, with its string instruments, produces melodic harmonies while Kklintang’s mesmerizing rhythms emanate from a set of gongs played with mallets.

Nestled in Balboa Park, the Mingei International Museum provides an ideal setting for this cultural celebration. Known for its focus on folk art and design, the museum aligns perfectly with the essence of Filipino culture embodied in rondalla and kulintang music.

“Struck and Plucked” promises an unforgettable evening filled with soul-stirring music and captivating performances. If you want to be part of this cultural experience, make sure to secure your tickets.
