CMG Young Musican Console

Originally, chamber music referred to a type of classical music that was performed in a small space such as a house or a palace room. There were far fewer instruments then found in an orchestra and no conductor to guide the musicians. Today, the tradition of chamber music remains very similar to its origins in terms of the size of the venue and the number of instruments used. Typically, a chamber orchestra is composed of 40 or fewer musicians. Because of the limited number of instruments, each instrument plays an equally important role.

    Christopher Marlo Jimenez

    Head Developer for Finance and Management Team (A.Y 2023-2024)

    Surprisingly, it's neither the programming nor the skills I have picked up as a developer that I will highlight during my stay in the Alliance. No, instead I'm putting into the picture the values of leadership and camaraderie I have come to develop. Here I have met the most interesting people I will ever come across, and it is honestly an honor I get to call them my friends. I have learned from them as they have from me. I have led my peers as they have led me. This two-way communication between me and them will always be my greatest treasure from CMG. My ates and kuyas from the organization have and continue to raise me with the principles and thinking of an Iskolar ng Bayan, and I aim to continue this legacy.

    Joining CMG enabled me to gain new friends and made me feel at ease especially in classes as I get to see fellow members during lecture or laboratory sessions. It also helped me tap on to my collaborative and creative skills as a member of the Media and Publicity team. I am profoundly grateful for CMG for letting me shine and boost my capabilities as an aspiring developer.

    Being a cherished member of this student organization has been an enriching journey that's surpassed all my expectations. It's not just about the skill-building workshops, impactful projects, and leadership opportunities that have given me a new perspective on my potential; it's also about the friendships formed and the sense of belonging that have turned mere colleagues into a close-knit family. This organization has not only enhanced my university experience but also equipped me with invaluable life skills and a network of connections that I'll forever be grateful for, as I confidently stride towards a future shaped by these unforgettable experiences.
