Isang Daan sa Isandaan, a star-studded musical extravaganza to be staged at the UP Theater at 7 p.m. on June 18, will formally open the University of the Philippines’ countdown to its centennial in 2008.

The show features UP alumni who have made names and blazed trails in the entertainment industry, among them singer-actress Nanette Inventor, OPM legend Ryan Cayabyab, actress-comedienne Candy Pangilinan, film-and-stage actress Harlene Bautista and singer Heber Bartolome. The presentation will also showcase the talents of internationally-acclaimed perfoming groups from the University of the Philippines Diliman such as the UP Concert Chorus, the UP Cherubim Seraphim, the UP Jazz Orchestra, the UP Symphonic Band and the UP Staff Chorale, among others.

Through song and dance, the performers will portray life at UP at different eras and depict how the University responds to the burning issues of the day. The show is produced for the Office of the Chancellor by the Office for Initiatives in Culture and the Arts and the UP Diliman Information Office.

The concert is free and open to the public.
