Featured Artist

Michael Dadap has been the artistic/music director and conductor of The Children's Orchestra Society since 1984. Greatly influenced by church, jazz, big bands, and folk music, Mr. Dadap first received his early training in solfège, theory, and composition from his older brother Jerry. After graduating from the University of the Philippines majoring in philosophy, he pursued further music studies at Mannes College of Music and The Juilliard School. In collaboration with the COS faculty and staff, Mr. Dadap has initiated and developed many teaching and orchestral training programs, including solfège and ear-training for the very young, chamber music for beginners to advanced players, and an emphasis on reading music, which all have become permanent signatures of COS. As a conductor, Mr. Dadap has conducted and collaborated with some of the world's most renowned concert artists. As an accomplished classical guitarist, he made his Carnegie Recital Hall debut in 1974 and has since performed in numerous concerts internationally. As part of the Dadap-Ma duo, he has toured in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Mr. Dadap's published solo guitar recordings include Lambingan, (Tenderness) Songs of the Visayans for Voice and Guitar, Himig Ng Puso (Songs from the Heart), Harana (Serenades for Solo Guitar), and Intimate Guitar Classics, which was featured as "album of the month" on WQXR in February 1990.
