I distinctly remember the first time I got to watch Gary Valenciano LIVE. I turned quiet, jaw dropped, and didn't make sense when he started dancing. People lost it, I lost it, because the man just showed how God given his talent is.
The Music Museum was full to the brim, and this October, he's going back there to do "Back At The Museum" which is a 10 night concert where he could bring the same quality of music, high energy dance and his story of triumph in the industry. This will all happen on October 1,3,8, 10, 15, 17, 22, 24, 29 and 31st. That's every Thursday and Saturday of October, part of the celebration of Manila Genesis Entertainment and Management Incorporated's 40th year in the business. The location is significant for Mr. Pure Energy as he's officially done over 103 shows here. It's very intimate as the audience sits very near, you can feel him talk, feel the wind when he moves and dances, which is why it's so apt to do it in this venue.
Pure Energy One Last Time
They plan to have this as a documentary and show on streaming platforms, possibly next year and have it be included in festivals. This will have his story embedded in it, his music, and the love he poured into his career over the years.
Gary adds "My dream was to have a one-day showing in a theater or a limited run but wherein I will personally invite people to come and see it. And in one showing, one day, a time slot where I want people from the entertainment industry, the media to come and see it. And it will only be you guys. So it will be a full theater of people who know me enough because you've known me for years. I'm really hoping that can happen!"
That's 10 shows this coming month, and he adores how the new generation still appreciates his music. He hopes they too get fueled with the same fire and passion to help OPM flourish, reach audiences beyond our shores and be felt by audiences today. He also plans to do a tour of this sort in other parts of the Philippines, visit educational institutions too. Here's hoping folks could experience what we've seen in his concerts and not do mobile phone recording all the time. In the concert, you will get to experience looking all over the venue, which he promises to try new things (a huge hint!).
The concert will be directed by his son Paolo Valenciano, and will be musically directed by Mon Faustino. His special guest include Frankie Pangilinan who's recently been doing good in music.
