RMA Studio Academy delivered a world-class concert performance with a live orchestra in the recently concluded That’s Amore! A Night at the Movies last November 9, 2025, at the Aliw Theatre in Pasay City.
No typhoon could hinder the grand musical extravaganza that showcased love in its many forms—through music, performance, and service to others.
A five-year project in the making, That’s Amore! A Night at the Movies was the vision of RMA’s founder and Asia’s Jewel, Ms. Jade Riccio. Born out of faith, passion, and growth, the concert came to life at a moment when purpose met preparation, turning a long-held dream into reality.
Featuring students of RMA Studio Academy, the concert delivered harmonious music and magical moments on a grand stage. The students performed with the confidence and excellence of professional concert artists, earning warm applause and standing ovations from the audience. These reactions affirmed RMA’s commitment to training students to step on stage with confidence and share their world-class talents.
RMA Studio Academy helped transform students from dreamers into confident performers through dedicated coaching, training, and support in overcoming stage fright. That’s Amore! marked a defining and shining moment for the students, witnessed by families and friends as they showcased their growth as performers.
Beyond vocal excellence, students also displayed remarkable talent in playing musical instruments such as guitar, piano, drums, and strings. Notably, the performances were accompanied live by the Philippine Events Orchestra.
Special performances from RMA celebrity students added to the night’s highlights. Rhian Ramos energized the audience with her rendition of “One Way or Another” from Mean Girls, while Michelle Dee impressed with her performance of the OPM song “Dilaw.”
Celebrity kids Scarlet Belo, Tali Sotto, and Zia Dantes also delivered memorable musical performances. Tali Sotto performed with the group for “Wanna Be” and “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” and sang a solo rendition of “The Climb.” Zia Dantes delivered a powerful performance of “Scars to Your Beautiful” from the 2018 film A Wrinkle in Time.
Ina Raymundo dazzled with her solo performance, while Jema Galanza and Chloe San Jose showcased a fierce rendition of “Proud Mary.” Rain Celmar demonstrated her strong vocal range with Whitney Houston’s “Run to You.” Musical legends Jose Mari Chan and Jade Riccio also took center stage, exhibiting their extensive vocal talent.
The concert was a benefit event, with proceeds donated to the Autism Society of the Philippines (ASP). Selected members of ASP performed “True Colors,” delivering a heartfelt and moving performance that highlighted their talent and passion. The collaboration between RMA and ASP reflects RMA’s ongoing mission to transform lives through music and meaningful partnerships.
