HARANA, composed of 8 singers, each of whom is an accomplished soloist in his or her own right, is Philippine Opera Company’s official cultural arm. The word ‘Harana’ is the Philippine term for ‘Serenade,’ which is a traditional form of courtship in which a man woos a woman’s affections by singing underneath her window.
HARANA aims to showcase the evolution of Philippine music through song, movement and drama. The repertoire is composed of 6 suites, each theatrically presented with authenticity, originality and visual excitement. Each Harana suite is the product of thorough research, which is undertaken with a commitment to preserve indigenous Philippine music and its appropriate dance and folklore.
HARANA also aims to restructure and enhance the research findings in order to evolve repertoires suited to the demands of contemporary theater and to promote international good will through performances at home and abroad. The result is an absolute feast for the senses.

Glendale Tech on Tap: From Idea to Tap - The Story of Starting a Craft Brewery Business
2016-10-26 17:00 - 19:00 | The Moose Den, 156 S. Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, 91204, United States
Drink a pint with Kirk Nishikawa, co-founder of Brewyard Beer Company in Glendale. Kirk will share his story of entrepreneurship, passion for beer and the hunt for money. And yes, the Moose Den serves Brewyard’s beer!
Other topics he’ll address includes:

The motivation to start a business.
The tools to develop a business plan.
The hunt for money.
Searching for a location.
Working with the City of Glendale.
Building out.
Brewing on a large system for the first time.
Opening their doors.

About the Brewyard
Sherwin and Kirk became friends way back in high school when huge baggy pants, Cool Water cologne and Tommy Hilfiger Jackets were still in fashion. In high school, they shared a love for cars. Sherwin was known as the “go to guy” when it came to fixing them, and Kirk was the “go to guy’s”, “go-to guy”. This partnership eventually progressed to a point where they were meticulously restoring classic cars together.
After cars, they formed a very very very amateur garage band with their friends. After the garage band it was tinkering on Sherwin’s house and home brewing craft beer.
For their day jobs, Sherwin worked as an ASC Master Certified Mechanic for over 20 years and Kirk an Architect for 8 and restaurant manager for 4.
Sherwin’s love for beer and passion for brewing is what initially inspired Kirk and many of his friends to become beer fanatics in their own right. As Sherwin got more and more sophisticated with his brewing, he began to enter home brewing competitions and collected a, how you say, “plethora” of bronze, silver and gold medals. It was only a matter of time before an ill-advised drunken promise locked both Kirk and Sherwin down a path to opening a brewery together. It started out as a joke really, then a dream, then a realistic dream. As the pieces of the puzzle started to come together, they decided to quit their careers and go all-in on building out their brewery.
On December 5, 2015 they opened the doors to Glendale’s very first micro-brewery, Brewyard. Since then they’ve enjoyed welcoming folks in to be a part of their craft brew-loving extended family.
About Kirk
Kirk Nishikawa, 37, was born in Los Angeles, CA. He has a BA in architecture from UC Berkeley. He was a Non-Profit Community Developer for 1 year, practiced Architecture for 8 years and served as a Restaurant Management for 4 years. He’s been home brewing with Sherwin Antonio for over 9 years.

Infused with colorful sounds and flavors from the coastal plains of Lima, Ayllón’s music overflows with her country’s indigenous, African, and Spanish musical heritage in a style called musica criolla, in which call-and-response, complex syncopation, and polyrhythms combine with sweet, melancholic melodies to create a unique and powerful sound.
