Manila, Philippines — Los Angeles-based Filipino singer and producer Garth Garcia has announced his birthday concert "Garth Garcia Sings The Classics" with Asia's Nightingale Lani Misalucha and Philippines' renowned composer Cecile Azarcon.

The event, which will take place on January 24 at The Nocturne Theatre in Glendale, California, will feature songs inspired by Frank Sinatra, among others, in a night of celebration influenced by old Hollywood.

Christean Reasonda helms the show while Ryan Whyman serves as musical director.

"Compared to my past concerts, this one is entirely different. We'll be celebrating and singing Frank Sinatra-inspired songs in our own interpretations," Garcia said in a statement. "We're excited to show people what true talent and creativity are, and they can expect us to take these tracks to the next level."

Garcia expressed excitement for the upcoming concert by saying it's been a dream of his to collaborate with Misalucha and Azarcon.

"They have always been the women I look up to in the industry, not just for their musical accomplishments, but also for their generosity and kindness," he said while emphasizing the two music icons' generosity in sharing their talents.

"When I told them about my birthday concert, they were eager to join me on stage. Real icons, in my opinion, support other artists while offering advice on how they reached greatness," he continued.

"What's also great about them is that they're always nice to everyone, especially the people who work behind the camera. As an artist, I appreciate how they make music that lasts a lifetime."

Aside from Misalucha and Azarcon, the Fil-Am singer and producer will bring Starlink artists to the stage, demonstrating how music spans generations.

In addition to honoring music, Garcia stated that a portion of the revenues will go to children with special needs in San Juan, Batangas.

“Helping children in need has become a tradition. I love the thought that as artists, we can do so much more for the community than just make music. This concert will also be my birthday gift to the children. I may not be physically present to offer my support, but know that they will always have a particular place in my heart," he ended.
