Renee Olstead in Dinner Concert "Summertime"

Tweet

Watch out for international recording artist Renee Olstead in "Summertime," an exclusive dinner concert performance at the Isla Grand Ballroom, Edsa Shangri-La, Manila on March 29, Saturday.

Fall in love with Renee's special rendition of timeless compositions "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" and "Summertime" among other chart-topping hits.

Olstead had released a self-titled album of jazz songs and pop standards for Warner Bros Records. Her musical talent was discovered by composer David Foster who produced her album during 2004. A follow-up album entitled Skylark also produced by Foster.

In 2012 Olstead joined PETA's campaign to free Maali from captivity at the Manila zoo where she has been alone for the last 3 decades. Mali is in need of proper medical care, more space and the companionship of other elephants. "I only watched Mali for a few minutes, and the entire time I was there, she stood in one place with her trunk to the ground. As I was leaving the zoo, I looked back and saw her there. I realized that her life is probably never much different from that. Every minute of every day, Mali is deprived of everything that is natural and important to her. It makes my heart break."

Edsa Shangri-La, Manila and Laurel Media usher in the summer season with famed international recording artist Renee Olstead in "Summertime," an exclusive dinner concert performance at the Isla Grand Ballroom, Edsa Shangri-La, Manila on March 29, Saturday.

The Jazz scene’s finest musicians to perform on Philippine shores! Stars coming for "Heal Our Land"

Tweet

International jazz fusion and smooth jazz pianist, composer, and producer David Benoit, a five-time Grammy Award nominee, will be heading to the Philippines with yet another noble cause—joining the line-up of the star-studded benefit concert “Heal Our Land,” which is set to be mounted at the Mall of Asia Arena on January 31, 2014.

Benoit, having made a name for himself time and time again, gained popularity through both his moving solo performances and notable collaborations. Over the years, he has arranged, conducted, and performed musical numbers for many popular artists, including the likes of Kenny Loggins, Patti Austin, Faith Hill, Brian McKnight, and the Walt Disney Company.

Apart from his numerous accomplishments in his career as a musician, he is also the music director for the Asia America Symphony and the Asia America Youth Orchestra.

“Heal Our Land” will also definitely not be the first of Benoit’s participation in causes that go far beyond plain performances, as he has been active in a number of benefit concerts around Asia, including Korea and the Philippines.

Also joining “Heal Our Land” are singers David Pack and Kevyn Lettau, with keyboardist Brian Simpson, American saxophonist and singer Jessy J, percussionist Richie “Gajate” Garcia, and guitarist-singers Ray Parker, Jr. and Jonathan Butler, whose song has inspired this concert’s title. Saxophonist Michael Paulo, pianist-singer-songwriter Spencer Day, pianist Gregg Karukas Freddie Schreuders, Eric Valentine, and Nate Phillips of the LA All-Star Band will also be part of the concert’s lineup.

Joining the Jazzfest, some of today’s local talents will also be including in the concert - Sitti, Side A, South Border, Free Style, Mulatto, Zoo, True Faith, Chad Borja, and recent “voice of the Philippines” contender Thor Dulay. The concert will be directed by the Philippines’ own Bert de Leon.

“Heal Our Land” is produced by All That Jazz Promotions, Inc., with the support of ABS-CBN, Lifestyle Network, and other partners.

All the participating artists in “Heal Our Land” chose to generously wave their fees for this concert, directing proceeds to the relief efforts of ABS-CBN’s Sagip Kapamilya and Gawad Kalinga projects.

Tickets are available at SM Tickets. For more information, please contact 470-2222 or visit www.smtickets .net.
