This morning I had a dream that Jeroen and I had a date to watch Chris Botti at the Peninsula. I arrived early and didn’t have my hair done. Chris Botti was also early and no one recognized him because he had dyed his hair black.
So I was talking to him and Chris said he wanted to start early for a change. Concert was 8 PM and he wanted to start at 7:30. It was a dinner show and he wanted to play while everyone was having dinner.
Jeroen arrived and I introduced Chris to my husband. I asked Chris if I had time to go to the salon downstairs and he told me to take 30 minutes. Meanwhile, Jeroen was hungry so I accompanied him to the salad bar, where we encountered a rude waiter. (end of dream)
Well, this afternoon I received an email inviting me to watch Chris Botti on June 19 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater! Jeroen and I love this venue!
The last time we saw him was in Tokyo two years ago, we were late and had the last two seats on top of Siberia.
Luckily my camera could zoom.
No worries, we got to meet him after and he gave me (and Jeroen) a hug! Read about it here.
Here’s the 411 on the concert:
Radio High 105.9 brings back Grammy-winning trumpet master Chris Botti for a one-night performance at Resorts World Manila’s Newport Performing Arts Theater on June 19, 2012.
After a live gig which formally launched Radio High 105.9 at the Greenbelt Fashion Walk last November 4, 2011, Botti is set to come back to Manila with an all-new repertoire, with new faces in his band lineup.
A pre-event warm-up show will feature jazz vocalists Richard Merk and Verni Varga.
Chris Botti Live in Manila will benefit the Young Musicians Development Organization (YMDO), and is presented by GLOBE TELECOMS and RESORTS WORLD MANILA.
Tickets will be available at http://www.ticketworld.com.ph.
Hope we get good seats!
Now, watch Chris Botti with my lolo crush, Burt Bacharach.
