3rd Annual Filipino Cultural Gathering and Symposium

ATTENTION: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. We look forward to seeing you at the 3rd Asian American and Pacific Islander Music Education Gathering in Toronto in July 2027. See you there!

Join us for an exciting program of music, singing, and dialogue.

The 3rd Annual Filipino Cultural Gathering and Symposium is set to take place on April 24-25, 2026 at Knox Presbyterian Church in Waterloo, ON.

The activities begin with a meet and greet on the Friday night as we begin to get to know one another and forge a pathway of music making for the weekend.

The 2nd day will be a full day of critical dialogue with musical facilitation weaved through the day. We plan to host a concert of our singing as a finale to Day 2.

This year, KW Sentro convenes the Cross-Cultural Music Collective made up of artists-scholar-activists, Joni NehRita, Kreisha Oro, Dr. Gerard Yun, and Dion Flores. Together, this collective’s experience spans musical traditions from Brazil, The Philippines, Turtle Island, as well as the Japanese Shakuhachi.

We look forward to you joining us on April 24-25, 2026 at Knox Presbyterian Church for the 3rd Annual Filipino Cultural Gathering and Symposium.

See you there!
