He had a passion for music which pushed him to start a quintet. Little did he know that it would grow so big. As the conductor of the provincial band, he toured extensively througout the Philippines. He became successful as a conductor and at the same time a businessman since he also owned a large estate and a farm. He didn't have proper Music education. but managed to keep the Quintet up and alive. They would mostly perform in towns and different barrios. As the orchestra grew bigger, he appointed himself as the Principal Conductor of the new Carrillo Symphony Orchestra. Since at that time it was the only orchestra in the Philippines or at least in the provinces, it was largely responsible for the growth of interest for Classical Music in the Philippines . Later his old age got in the way of his conducting. He was forced to hand the post down to his grandson whom he had taught personally, Tony Carrillo . |
