Reimagining the Familiar: Filipino Music and the Classical Guitar is a project that reinterprets original Filipino repertoire through the expressive lens of the classical guitar ensemble.

Led by the PIMA Guitar Quartet, the performance highlights the synergy of its members and presents the guitar ensemble as a dynamic medium for both artistic and educational engagement. Through concerts and brief lecture segments, the project bridges popular and classical traditions, fostering deeper appreciation of Filipino music in an innovative and accessible format.
