The San Miguel Philharmonic Orchestra (SMPO) is one of the two major performing arts groups (along with the San Miguel Master Chorale) under the San Miguel Foundation for the Performing Arts. As a young ensemble, its wide selection of works encompassing musical genres attests to its versatility and dynamism. Together with the SMMC, the SMPO aspires to produce and perform new orchestral works that will ensure the growth and development of Filipino music.
The SMPO, together with the SMMC, was disbanded in late January 2007 by the San Miguel Corporation.

one gratuitous flourish—a stroke of white or

bass tones of the orchestra ...”
