Ms. Kuh Ledesma and Christian Bautista together in one momentous concert
Can you imagine having two prominent, well-known and award-winning singers of their own musical era unite in one momentous and remarkable concert? Yes, there is really such an event like that, which is definitely worth the wait for all us, music-lovers.
One of the main reasons why I love Solaire and (you should too) is the fact that they really support Filipino talents and performers. We seldom encounter known establishments like this that is so so much willing to invest on our local and genuine talents. Thanks to Mr. Audie Gemora, who plays a very vital role as the Director of Entertainment at the Solaire Resort.
The integrated resort's newest event venue, The Tent, will cater various artists as Mr. Audie Gemora says, " The Tent seeks to accommodate Solaire's ever expanding enteetainment fare. We can now simultaneously hold concerts and musicals in two spaces for our guests' enjoyment. It is quite fitting that The Tent's maiden offering is "Kuh Ledesma Christian Bautista Sing Streisand Groban Legrand," as it speaks of how time is a transforming force, a common thread that artists and Solaire have experienced over the years. It will truly be a wonderful night of beautiful music."

Solaire Resort has practically rejoined another two brilliant artists from different generations. One of our county's most formidable and well-respected divas, Ms. Kuh Ledesma has been in the industry for four decades and is showing no signs of stopping from performing on stage. She was prominently compared to Barbra Streisand during her beginnings, but eventually shook the association off due to her striking looks, soulful sound and captivativing stage presence. Her all-time hits like "Dito Ba?" , " 'Til I Met You" and "One More Try" has been in our musical system for the past four decades. Even the millennials got to hear those popular songs by Ms. Kuh Ledesma because you know, us Filipinos are music-lovers by nature and we all love to sing karaoke!
Kuh divulges, "Being in the industry for 40 years, the songs have become mine over time. There is one song that brings me to tears whenever I hear it and this concert is my opportunity to sing it as my own."
Christian Bautista... I've known Christian for few years now since he was with his mother Network before, ABS-CBN. The Asia's Pop Idol hasn't changed a bit only that he has carried some other additional achievements in his cap and that he is also engaged with his fiance, Kat Ramnani, whom he claims created a big impact on his performances, thus, he said, " Groban's ''You Raise Me Up,' has more meaning to me now. When I hear it, I think about Kat and how the song perfectly describes how she affects me and how much she inspires me. "
On the other hand, Ms. Kuh has nothing but good words for Christian... "It's always a pleasure to work with Christian. First of all, he has a great voice, and it's always a delight working with singers with great voices. Second, he is a friend and brother in Christ, so that's a bonus. Lastly, he's good looking---what else can I ask for?"
Christian was also compared to American singer, songwriter Josh Groban for his lanky physique when he first auditioned for a defunct television singing contest. Despite his competition exit, he was offered a recording contract and thus began his climb to entertainment stardom. His debut single "The Way You Look at Me" received an acclaimed exposure in Indonesia which set his singing career in an international trajectory.
Kuh is not a stranger as a performance partner, and Christian only has praises to say about her. "I've learned so much from her. As an artist, I admire the brilliance she injects in our craft. She knows how every little detail will flow and has total control of her shows. It's an amazing opportunity to see how she does it and be able to sing it with her on the same stage again."
Reflecting on the last few years since doing this concert for the first time, Kuh shares. "The years in between have brought a lot of amazing experiences. We've gone through various events, even life changing milestones that bear different emotions. Although the songs will be familiar and the best from the three icons, there will be more depth and honesty," says Kuh. *Our, and of course, the fans of Streisand, Legrand and Groban can definitely expect a deeper sense of connection in the songs that we will sing in the concert. It'll still be the music that the fans have fallen in love with, ony this time more heartfelt."
