In honor of the long and enduring bond between the Japanese and Filipino people and nation, the Tokyo-Manila Jazz Arts & Festival Group and the A.M.P. Big Band came together for Harmony of Friendship: A Jazz Prelude to 70 Years of Japan–Philippines Ties last January 20, 2026 at the Proscenium Theater at Rockwell Center, Makati.


It was an enchanting and unforgettable evening of jazz featuring the Tokyo-Manila Jazz Arts & Festival Group and the A.M.P. Big Band. Presented by the Embassy of Japan in the Philippines and The Japan Foundation, Manila, it was an extraordinary evening of harmony, friendship, and rhythms of jazz.
