The Composer--Conductor
Composer-conductor Ma. Rosalina Abejo's training is as multi-faceted as her involvements and commitments. With music Baccalaureate and Master's degree and various courses toward a doctoral in Music Arts, the composer-conductor is very much involved in civic and charity projects, particularly with the DR. JOSE P. RIZAL MEMORIAL FOUNDATION, the UNITED NATIONS ASSOCIATION OF THE PHILIPPINES, Catholic Charities, etc., giving her time and talent and professional services gratis et amore.

Composer Abejo's background as conductor includes three terms of intensive courses for conductors under the late Fritz Mahler, one of the famous and respected conductors in the United States, while the composer's kaleidoscopic techniques in composition have been greatly influenced during her Cincinnati sojourn by Felix Labunski, a disciple of Paul Dukas and Vincent d'Yndy.

*In 1974, she took an intensive conductors' workshop under the famous and eminent Maestro Franco Ferrera of Italy.

Her musical works numbering to more than three hundred, from piano pieces to symphonies, not to mention the music textbooks, hymns, choruses, cantatas, and the first oratorio in Filipino, bespeak of her dedication to culture and the arts. Meritoriously, she was awarded the much coveted Philippine Republic Cultural Heritage Award for Music in 1967
