Renowned singer and songwriter Cecile Azarcon is set to celebrate her 45th anniversary in the music business with an all-star concert at The Theatre at Solaire on May 24 and 25.
The show will feature Azarcon’s compositions from the past four decades, most of which are now considered among the biggest selling contemporary classics.
