Internationally renowned tenor Arthur Espiritu headlines the concert “Let the Wind Blow: A Bouquet for Pablo” on Sept. 26 at 7:30 p.m. at Mirror Theatre Studio, SJG Center, on 8463 Kalayaan Avenue, Barangay Poblacion, Makati City.

The event is a fundraiser for ailing journalist-writer Pablo A. Tariman, author of the poetry collection “Love, Life and Loss During the Pandemic” and “Encounter in the Arts: Essays, Profiles, Reportage,” a compilation of his life’s work of covering the performing and other arts. The funds raised will go to his hospitalization, continuing care, and maintenance medication.

To perform with Espiritu are sopranos Stefanie Quintin Avila and Angeli Benipayo, singing actress Jay Valencia Glorioso, baritone Ruzzel Clemeno, guitarist Aaron Aguila, cellist Renato Lucas, pianists Gabriel Allan Ferros Paguirigan and GJ Frias, clarinetist Herald Sison, and violinists Ghio Karylle Esteban and Cedie Nuñez.

Among the pieces to be interpreted are some of Tariman’s favorites, such as Bachianas Brasileiras for voice and guitar, Neapolitan songs, “Hymn d’Amour,” the aria from Korngold Die Tote Stadt, Moriccone’s “Gabriel’s Oboe.”
