The concert will be held at 4:00 P.M. in the newly opened St. Paul University Manila Museum. A write-up published in the U.S. states: Growing up in the Philippines, Richard Alcoy, who adopted the stage name Ric *Ickard, started playing guitar at the age of eight by studying the recordings of Andres Segovia, Laurindo Almeida, Charlie Byrd, and Chet Atkins. At seventeen, he began performing in guitar concerts. Until he began formal studies in St. Paul College in Manila, where he earned a Bachelor's degree in music education, he was entirely self- taught. At his graduation, his Alma Mater presented him a special award in musical performance. He won first prize in both classical and jazz guitar competitions in the 1980 Philippine Guitar Festival and was the first guitarist ever to win in both categories, on the same day. Ric's talents blossomed as a young artist. The Philippine Government granted him a scholarship to study classical guitar. Ric has performed in many five-star hotels and cruise ships. Aside from performing around the world, Ric is a regularly featured artist at the annual Chet Atkins Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, the Pasadena's Guitar Nights, as well as the Association of Fingerstyle Guitarists. After moving to the United States, based in Los Angeles, Ric continued to pursue his music career doing solo concerts, arranging/ producing/performing with artists, such as Charmaine Clamor, Florante, Tateng Katindig,
