UMICH FASA's Centennial Celebration PCN!

The University of Michigan's Filipino American Student Association (UM-FASA) held it's annual Philippine Culture Night on November 18, 2023 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The sold-out centennial event celebrates 100 years of Filipino-American student organizational activity at the University of Michigan. PACE-MI was invited to perform and showcase a variety of traditional performances. While the PACE-MI Rondalla collaborated with FASA's traditional dance groups to provide live musical accompaniment for "Pandanggo Sa Ilaw" and "Tinikling", PACE-MI also presented a colorful suite of Maguindanao kulintang music and indigenous dances such as "Sagayan" and "Asik". This event, with over 300 people in attendance, marks the first FASA PCN that PACE-MI has been invited to perform at since the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020.
