Riccio Music & Artistry (RMA) Studio Academy invites everyone to Be Their Guests in their annual musical recital concert happening on December 1, 2024, 6:00 pm at The Podium Hall.
With the theme, “Be Our Guest”, this concert will gather RMA Studio Academy’s students, families, celebrities, and other A-lister guests who will witness the diverse musical prowess and performances of RMA students in one grand concert event.
Established in 2020, RMA Studio Academy is the Philippines’ first all-in-one creative hub, with a mission of harnessing the unifying power of music and empowering individuals of all ages and backgrounds to explore their artistic potential. Founded by Ms. Jade Riccio, an award-winning soprano, known as “Asia’s Jewel”, her nearly two decades of dedicating herself to performing both locally and internationally inspired her to create a community of excellence at RMA.
“Since our inception, RMA has flourished into a highly sought-after music academy, with a team of accomplished coaches and performers providing personalized lessons tailored to each student’s unique goals and aspirations,” says Ms. Jade Riccio.
For the first half of the concert, RMA Studio Academy will feature musicals, for they believe it will captivate their audience as well as showcase the incredible talents of their students. The musical concert will also highlight a myriad of repertoire, which include Pop, OPM, K-Pop, Jazz, P-Pop, Classical, and unique fusion performances with a 15 piece orchestra.
This grand musical event of RMA Studio Academy will also show their versatility and commitment to providing a wide range of music lessons. “This concert is not just a showcase of talent; it demonstrates RMA’s dedication to artistic diversity and excellence,” explains Ms. Riccio.
“We are also proud to include a wide range of performers, from students aged 6-30’s. Some of our students are high-profile celebrities, while many others are emerging talents ready to shine on stage and as I always say stage is the best teacher,” shares Ms. Riccio.
This must-see event will not only highlight musicality but will also benefit children from two esteemed organizations – Save the Children Philippines and Autism Society Philippines as portions of the ticket sales will be donated to these two organizations.
According to Ms. Riccio, the partnership reflects RMA’s commitment to making a meaningful impact on the lives of children and individuals with autism, aligning with RMA’s mission of transforming lives through music. “We are honored and humbled to collaborate with these remarkable organizations as they are both close to my heart. This partnership will inspire the entire RMA family to make this concert a resounding success,” says Ms. Riccio.
One of RMA’s distinguished students-artists, 2023 Miss Universe Philippines, Ms. Michelle Dee who serves as an ambassador for the Autism Society Philippines, makes this collaboration possible, adding a deeper significance to the event and reinforcing RMA Studio Academy’s belief in the power of music to create positive change.
“This concert will not only celebrate musical excellence but also contribute to causes that transform lives, demonstrating RMA’s dedication to both artistic and social responsibility,” adds Ms. Riccio.
Other than 2023 Ms. Universe Philippines, Michelle Dee, RMA is proud of their students who are part of the entertainment and music industry. This includes Maymay Entrata, Erika Raymundo, Atasha Muhlach, Zia Dantes, Scarlet Belo, Max Collins, Olivia Manzano, Rhian Ramos, John Arcenas, Pepe Herrera, Shanaia Gomez, Caitlyn Stave, Ondrea Sotto, Amari Sotto, Denise Laurel, Vivoree, Brigiding Aricheta, Michelle Garcia, Maria Chantal, Sabine Cerrado, Solenn Heussaff, Ina Raymundo and a lot more. These names not only shine brightly on their own but also allow themselves to hone their innate talents and further expand their artistic horizon.
“At RMA, we remain committed to nurturing and supporting all our students as they grow in their artistic journeys. We believe that with passion and hard work, they can achieve incredible things both on and off the stage. Also, I always believe in the power of collaboration. I like learning from others not only with my fellow musicians but also with my students, that’s why I like and I love teaching,” lauds Ms. Riccio.
Ms. Riccio and the whole RMA team look forward to welcoming everyone to this event. “We’ll make sure to leave you inspired more than ever,” says Ms. Riccio.
