The Rose Memorial Auditorium (Rose Memorial or Rose) is a large multi-purpose theater (auditorium) on the campus of Central Philippine University in Jaro, Iloilo City. Rose is the largest auditorium in Western Visayas with a seating capacity of 4000 and has hosted over 100+ international and local concerts, conventions and events from known music artists, bands, groups (music, performing arts and progressive and political groups), and public servants. The present day structure was built in the 1990s after the old one was burned down by fire. Recently, the Cultural Center of the Philippines has designated the Rose Memorial Auditorium for three-year Memorandum of Understanding, as one of the first batch of nine Cultural Center of the Philippines Regional Art Centers or Kaisa sa Sining Regional Art Centers in 2014.[1][2][3][3][4][5][6][7]
With exception to the concerts that Rose hosts, it is also the venue for religious convocations of Central Philippine University and an biennial convention of the Convention of Philippine Baptist Churches.
Concerts, summits and conventions
Since the 1990s when the new Rose Memorial was opened to the public and university use of Central Philippine University, it became a known venue in Iloilo for performances of notable international and local bands (rock, pop, acoustic and group), recording artists/singers, other music groups, and as well as symposiums, summits and conventions of public servants and organizations.
