RMA Studio Academy’s That’s Amore Concert expressed love in various forms

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 ever hinder that night of a grand musical extravaganza that showcased love in different forms – music, performing, or showing service to others.

A vision of love turned into reality

A five-year in the making project, That’s Amore! A Night at the Movies was a vision of RMA’s founder and Asia’s Jewel, Ms. Jade Riccio. It emanated out of faith, passion, and growth. The timing came right, where passion met its purpose, this dream became a reality.

Featuring the students of RMA Studio Academy, the concert was a night to remember as it brought harmonious music and magical moments to a grand stage. The RMA students displayed their valiant performance like professional concert artists. The warm applause and standing ovations from the audience served as our validation for a job well done in training our students to come confidently on stage and sharing their world-class talents.

From dreamers to world-class performers

RMA Studio Academy turned its students’ dream of becoming excellent performers. From its dedicated coaching and training to helping them overcome stage fright and making the stage truly theirs, That’s Amore concert was a success.  

It was both a defining and shining moment for RMA students who made an impact on stage. The families and friends of the students witnessed these extraordinary moments of their lives as they transitioned into excellent performers.  

The students did not only show their excellent vocal prowess but also they did exude their exceptional talent in playing musical instruments such as guitar, piano, drum, and strings.

Also notable during the concert, the students performed with the Philippine Events Orchestra live. 

Superb Special Performances from RMA Celebrity Students

Special performances from RMA celebrity students were remarkable and spectacular.

Rhian Ramos rocked the stage with her rendition of “One Way or Another” from the movie Mean Girls while Michelle Dee gave her own mark in singing “Dilaw”, an OPM song that showcased her musical prowess.

Celebrity kids Scarlet Belo, Tali Sotto, and Zia Dantes delivered their unforgettable musical performances.

Tali Sotto was part of the group who sang “Wanna Be”, and “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”. She had a solo performance of “The Climb”.

Rain Celmar exemplified her strong vocal range with her performance of Whitney Houston’s “Run to You”. 

Musical legends Jose Mari Chan and Jade Riccio took the centerstage that night exhibiting their extensive vocal talent.

A heartwarming benefit concert

Proceeds from this concert were given to the Autism Society of the Philippines (ASP). “We were not only giving RMA students the opportunity to shine but also, we shared the stage to one of the most vulnerable sectors – persons in the autism spectrum,” tells Jade Riccio. 

Selected members of ASP exhibited their awesome talent in singing “True Colors”. It was heartfelt and moving, proving that they, too, are capable of performing on stage. 

The partnership between RMA and ASP continues as it becomes a testament to RMA’s mission of transforming lives through music. “This collaboration allows us to keep inspiring our students to share and cultivate their innate talents as well as make a meaningful impact to others,” adds Ms. Riccio. 

The concert ended with a group performance of the RMA students of “Golden” from the 2025 movie K-Pop Demon Hunters.
