December 2, 2008 officially welcomes the Christmas season on campus. The traditional rites of lighting the campus will be at 6 p.m. at the Oblation plaza. It will be immediately followed by a concert entitled Tanglaw Sentenyal: Mga Tugtuging Pagdiriwang, featuring the UP Symphonic Band under the direction of Prof. Leopoldo Lopez, and the UP Symphonic Orchestra under the baton of Prof. Edna Marcil-Martinez and Prof. Rodney Ambat.
The concert repertoire includes classical celebratory music, music by Filipino composers, and Christmas carols where the audience will be invited to a community singing.
The concert is organized by the Office for Initiatives in Culture and the Arts (OICA) in cooperation with the College of Music.
