We helped steer that group to great heights and places within the U.S. and abroad during my 10-year term as president of that ensemble.<br />The Phil. Chamber Rondalla of NJ appreciates your highlighting our performance of Libertango, quite a challenging piece for rondalla players.<br />Thank you.<br />Clarita V.

Leonor Paliguin is our rondalla performance coach. But our President is Clarita <br /><br />V. Ramos. Albeit Ms. Ramos built up and shepherded UPAF Rondalla for over a decade, <br /><br />during which time it was awarded a grant seven times by the New Jersey State Council of <br /><br />the Arts and its affiliates and participated at the world Expo in Portugal and performed a <br /><br />number of times at the Smithsonian and Library of Congress, Ms Ramos is no longer <br /><br />affiliated with UPAF Rondalla. I and other core members of PCR-NJ are also no longer <br /><br />affiliated with UPAF Rondalla. I invite you to visit <br /><br />http://philchamberrondalla.multiply.com to find out more about PCR-NJ.<br /><br />Again, thank you, for spotlighting our interpretation of 'Libertango.' <br /><br />F Yalong<br />Secretary, PCR-NJF Yalonghttp://philchamberrondalla.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.com
