SAN FRANCISCO, CA – May 21, 2024 – The recent “Odette Quesada All Hits Concert Series,” presented by AIP Media Productions, Inc., Crossover Events, and TFC, that was held back-to-back recently at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, CA, and at the Fox Theatre in Redwood City, CA, left audiences spellbound with its blend of timeless melodies and heartfelt performances.

The event, which featured guest artists Jaya, Felson Palad, and Raymond Lauchengco, with the opening act by Jeremy and Justin Garcia, celebrated four decades of musical brilliance from Filipino songwriter and composer Odette Quesada. The concert series received overwhelming praise from fans who were moved by the experience.

From the opening notes of “Don’t Know What To Do,” to the final encore of the much-requested “Friend of Mine,” the two shows proved the enduring legacy of Quesada's music, with fans expressing their admiration for her talent and the impact of her songs on their lives. Attendees took to social media to share their thoughts and feedback, with many describing the concerts as "unforgettable" and "emotional."

Genevive from Glendale says the show brought back childhood memories, enumerating songs that resonated with her especially in relation to her love life during her younger years.

One fan, @amaranthus1898, commented on social media, "I had so much fun at Fox Theater last Sunday night!” She added that her favorite song is “To Love Again”, so she was super happy to hear Quesada sing it while she was playing on the piano. This fan was moved to tears.

In addition to praising Odette Quesada's performance, fans also commended the overall production and organization of the concert series. Maureen from Los Angeles found the concert “unique and memorable” because they felt like they (fans) were part of the show.

“It's clear that Odette's music has had a profound impact on people's lives,” observes AIP Entertainment Co-Founder Saripaz Villar. They hope to be able to bring more shows that global audiences would enjoy.

In his social media post, Noel Ferrer, the other co-founder of AIP Media, expressed gratitude to those who watched the show in Los Angeles and San Francisco. He exclaimed that “It has been an amazing leg for this initial U.S. tour. This All-Hit series is a gift that keeps on giving.”

ABS-CBN International Head of Events Business Development Kerwin Du commented, "The outpouring of love and support from fans at the Odette Quesada All Hits Concert Series was truly heartwarming, and we are honored to have been part of this unforgettable celebration."

Crossover Events Head Rio Manotoc acknowledges that 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.”
