‘And truly, this milestone … deserves to be witnessed and experienced by people across the country and around the world’

After sold-out shows in Manila and California, AlP Media Production and Crossover Events, present “Odette Quesada: All Hits – The 40th Anniversary Celebration US Tour 2024.”

The second leg of the US tour continues with shows in the following cities in partnership with Crossover Events Global: October 11 at the Royal Hawaii Theater in Honolulu, October 18 at Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City, October 20 at the Copernicus Center in Chicago, and October 25 at the Stafford Centre in Houston, Texas.

Musical director will be Lorrie Ilustre and guests will be Raymond Lauchengco, Jaya and Felson Palad.

From the successful pre-pandemic birthday and homecoming concert in 2020, Odette’s journey with our group has been a most valuable gift that keeps on giving.

Concert director and co-producer Rowell Santiago said, “Odette Quesada’s music has become the soundtrack of our youth and of our lives. This ‘All Hits’ concert brings back all the stories and feels of a generation that is full of hope and love, that is so effectively carried over to the present.”

And truly, this milestone – Odette Quesada’s 40th anniversary labor of love and a beautiful testament to friendship through music – deserves to be witnessed and experienced by people across the country and around the world.

“It feels like a warm giant hug!” said Odette and “I am obviously very much amazed by the overwhelming response and support by the fans and the artists who have been so generous with their time and talent. Grateful to my producers for giving me the opportunity to celebrate this milestone in such a grandiose way.”

In her 40th year in the music industry, Odette was honored by the Aliw Awards Foundation and the Philippine Movie Press Club Star Awards For Music with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Incidentally, Odette is also one of the recipients of the Ryan Cayabyab Award for Music Excellence to be given during the Pinoy Playlist Music Festival on November 17 at the BGC Arts Center. It is the Maestro honoring his former student at the UP College of Music. It would be good to see them in a major concert together soon. “That would be a dream come true,” Odette said.

This early, AIP Media Production is looking at celebrating Odette Quesada’s 60th birthday in Manila and hitting the major cities of Cebu and Davao on January 2025.

It will be an exciting year for AIP Media Production as it carries on with its “All Hits” series with a lot more excellent OPM artists both established and emerging. With Sarape Villar, Dodie Crisostomo and Rio Manotoc of the Crossover group, things will just level up after this very inspiring kick-off year! “It’s clear that Odette’s music has had a profound impact on people’s lives,” observes Sari.

“The preparations for the back-to-back concerts were not a cakewalk, but we brought so much joy to the audiences who came to our shows, and for me, that is already our win,” said Rio.

“Truly, with the Filipino artists, Anything Is Possible (AIP)!” exclaimed Dodie.
