t time talking to Asilo's elderly as they
also give gift to her.
The Iloilo Youth Orchestra composed of members from as young as three years old brought Christmas cheer to Asilo's elderly by way of a simple yet intimate and meaningful Christmas concert.
Indeed, these children's genuine heart moved the lolos and lolas of Asilo De Molo when they started giving gifts right after they serenaded them and greeting each one of them a "Merry Christmas".
Receiving such atributegave the elderly joy when they saw and heard the kids play the violin with so much gusto. Perhaps in their minds they remembered their apos or that like these kids, they were young once. It was a heartwarming scene witnessing them watch the kids perform starting with the Philippine National Anthem followed by Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Variations (Shinichi Suzuki), O Come Little Children (folk song), Jingle Bells, Silent Night, First Noel, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, Away in a Manger, Joy to the World, Ode to Joy, Hornpipe from Handel's Water Music and Musette (J.S. Bach).
This is for you, LOLA. IYO member
