NAGA CITY — A fund-raising concert by local talents for the benefit of the Philippine Red Cross Camarines Sur Chapter is slated to be held at The Tent, Avenue Plaza Hotel, Magsaysay Avenue, this city on February 8.
The concert, dubbed “Soundwaves Goes Nutz”, will feature homegrown showband Soundwaves, along with special guests Mixed Nutz, Fr. Don Federico, Fr. Francis Tordilla, and Brendalyn Arroyo.
Ningning David-Belmonte of Soundwaves, said they will perform songs from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s to cater to a wider audience.
“As artists, we want to use our talents to help the Philippine Red Cross, which has been unrelenting in its service to the community,” Belmonte added during the press conference at The Boardroom, Avenue Plaza Hotel on Monday.
“Singing is really our passion. We enjoy seeing people enjoy our music, with the added benefit of helping the Red Cross,” she further said.
Soundwaves is among the more popular local bands that perform not only locally but also abroad.
Tickets for the two-hour dinner concert cost PHP2,000, PHP1,400, and PHP1,000.
The venue can accommodate about 700 guests.
“There will be lots of surprises,” she said, “We guarantee that the audience will have a good time.”
Meanwhile, Maria Theresa S. Bongiad, officer-in-charge of the Philippine Red Cross Camarines Sur Chapter, said the concert is just one of the projects of the organization.
During the recent Tropical Depressions Usman and Amang, the Red Cross extended support in terms of relief goods and psychosocial services to the victims in the province.
“We aim to raise awareness through this concert about our initiatives, and encourage other people to help out,” Bongiad said.
