There are evenings that ask for spectacle—and there are evenings that ask you to listen.
Moonlit Symphonies belongs to the latter: a quiet romance composed not in grand gestures, but in breath, in sound, in shared stillness. Set within the living architecture of the Masungi Georeserve, this evening experience invites February to soften—into music, memory, and into care.
Thy music moves the night
As daylight loosens its hold, the forest opens three spaces, each a movement in an unfolding composition.
The evening begins with a view that holds both mountain and metropolis, where melodies rise gently toward a skyline beginning to glow. Here, sound becomes a bridge—between elevation and distance, between the human and the vast.
The journey continues into a pine patch, where a communal table waits. Dinner is served family-style, co-curated with partner dining rooms and shaped by the culinary memory of the Rizal–Quezon–Laguna corridor.
This is food that understands sharing: dishes passed hand to hand, flavors layered with nostalgia, sustenance offered not as indulgence, but as care.
The final space is one of quiet reverence—a clearing that feels like prayer without words. Music softens. The forest speaks back in winds and pauses. What remains is reflection: on home, on hope, on the gentle courage of staying present.
Listening as an act of love
Moonlit Symphonies mend as a shared listening—between musicians and landscape, between guests and one another.
A trio of wind and string instruments carries the night through themes of belonging: first to nature, then to each other, and finally to the idea of homeland. The forest does not watch; it participates.
Photography is welcome, but subtly so. Flash fades here. Screens dim. Attention is the true offering.
Where romance gives back
Beyond its tenderness, the evening carries intention. Proceeds from Moonlit Symphonies support Masungi’s ongoing reforestation and conservation work—ensuring that this romance with the land is not fleeting, but reciprocal. To attend is not to escape the world, but to invest in its care.
Held on select evenings from late January through February, the experience runs from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, priced at ₱4,800 per guest, inclusive of dinner and performances.
Reservations are limited, deliberate, and confirmed separately—by design, intimacy cannot be rushed.
This Heart’s Month, romance does not arrive wrapped in excess. It arrives quietly, under the moon, asking only that you listen—closely, kindly, and together.
Set your artful heart’s month now at the heart of the Masungi, which runs from January 31, February 1, 14, 17, 21, and 28, 2026, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm. To learn more and register, go to bit.ly/mgmoonlitsymphonies . And for inquiries, contact [email protected]
