Pinoy musician shares the art of surviving abroad
PIANIST Hector Martinez is the typical Filipino musician who got hooked on music, studied abroad, joined competitions and then, on the onset of the world-wide economic slump, had to find ways to survive to support his craft. Now based in the United States, Martinez came home recently to play a well-nuanced program of Chopin’s Scherzos and Ballades at the RCBC Hall in Manila.
