The funds raised will go to his hospitalization, continuing care and maintenance medication.

With Espiritu are sopranos Stefanie Quintin Avila and Angeli Benipayo, singing actress Jay Valencia Glorioso, baritone Ruzzel Clemeno, guitarist Aaron Aguila, cellist Renato Lucas, pianists Gabriel Allan Ferros Paguirigan and GJ Frias, clarinetist Herald Sison, and violinists Ghio Karylle Esteban and Cedie Nuñez.

Among the pieces to be interpreted are some of Tariman’s favorites like Bachianas Brasileiras for voice and guitar, Neapolitan songs, “Hymn d'Amour,” the aria from Korngold's Die Tote Stadt, Moriccone’s “Gabriel's Oboe.”
