ROBERT "BOB"
Shroder
FASO MUSICAL DIRECTOR
& CONDUCTOR
A Founding musical director and conductor Robert Shroder grew up in the musical and
historic town of Kawit in the Philippines. His first music teacher was his grandfather,
Augusto R. Samaniego Sr., the conductor of the local Magdalo Band and a member of the
world-renowned Philippine Constabulary Band. Shroder studied flute performance at
the University of the Philippines Conservatory of Music under the tutelage of Enrique
Barcelo. He later concentrated in chamber music and conducting under Reynaldo Paguio
and Leopoldo Lopez. Shroder also attended extensive conducting workshops and master
classes with former Manila Symphony Orchestra conductor Helen Quach. Pianist and
conductor of the Deutsche Oper Berlin Lorenzo Palomo, and award-winning violinist and
chamber music conductor Christoph Poppen. While in college, Shroder was principal flutist
of the Philippine Youth Orchestra under the baton of Sergio Esmilla Jr. Due to his
impressive academic standing at the University of the Philippines, he was invited to join
the Mu Phi Epsilon International Music Fraternity . This distinguished fraternity was
brought to major Philippine music institutions by National Artist of the Philippines Lucrecia
Kasilag. In 1982, Shroder won the National Music Competition for Young Artists grand
prize at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. He became principal flutist of the Manila
Symphony Orchestra, the oldest symphony orchestra in Asia and where he auditioned and
was hired right after his graduation recital, and the Manila Chamber Orchestra, where he

MUSIC EDUCATION &
OUTREACH PROGRAM
We at the Filipino American Symphony Orchestra believe
music to be a core component of our humanity. Our sense of
being needs music in the same way that our bodies need
food, water and air. It is our greatest hope that our Education
& Outreach Program enrich the lives of the communities that
we serve.
We Filipino Americans have a very rich music tradition and
are very proud of our talent. FASO provides opportunities for
children to learn about our rich music traditions and to help
them develop their own unique identities. We offer children a
chance to reach their full musical potential, and to perform and
share their talent with their communities.
FASO actively seeks out children in underserved
communities. We teach a variety of repertoire: Philippine folk
songs, the Philippine National Anthem, Kundiman, zarzuela,
Harana, among others.
Your donations to FASO help us keep our Education &
Outreach Program alive. Thank you for your generosity. Are
you an aspiring musician? Or do you happen to know an
