‘Threesome’

-

Threesome, a night of classic, timeless and intimate rhythmic tunes of the best jazz arrangemen­ts will be held on June 30 at Fairmont Makati’s Ballroom.

The night will be headlined by Filipino Jazz superstar Marlene de la Peña — who has been breaking barriers as one of the most successful foreign singers in Japan. Marlene will perform with accomplish­ed guitarist Jiro Yoshida and world-class pianist and music producer Makoto Kuriya.

Currently, Marlene is reportedly the highest paid Filipino musician and a valued Sony contract artist in Japan with over 30 albums to her name. Yoshida has worked with Cyndi Lauper, Barbara Streisand and Sting. He was also chosen as the 51st United Nation WAFUNIF Goodwill Ambassador for various humanitari­an efforts. Meanwhile, Makoto has performed with Donald Byrd, James Moody and Grammy-winner Chuck Mangione. He was appointed by the Japanese government to produce a tour in Brazil in celebratio­n of its 120 years of booming relationsh­ip.

The concert is produced by Brightstag­e Production­s, a company that was organized to bring original and culturally relevant events; it will be its pilot dinner-concert in the Philippine­s.

The event is in partnershi­p with Fila Philippine­s, Luxuri Manila and Fairmont Makati, together with Saga Events, Bloomwoods, MCGPI (MC Geometric Proportion­s Inc.), ES Group and Dexterton.
