The wonderful miracle is that FASO is not composed of musicians who play full-time for the orchestra. The remarkable thing is that most of FASO’s members, who come from first-, second- or even third-generations of Filipino immigrant families, have other regular jobs. Many are musicians by passion — who have professional jobs, are students or have other careers.

On Saturday, Dec. 7, at 6 p.m., we'll be celebrating the holidays at White Memorial Church in "A Joyous Christmas With FASO!" Vocalist and composer, Vhen Bautista, a.k.a. Chino Romero, kicks off this round of our spotlight series!
