This Valentine’s day, renowned singer-songwriter Marion Aunor is inviting everyone – singles and couples alike – to a unique musical experience as her upcoming concert, Valentine’s Show Para Sa Walang Ka-Valentine, promises an evening of emotional connection and musical enchantment at Viva Cafe on February 14 (Wednesday, 8:00 p.m.).
Directed by Vivian Poblete with musical direction by Elmer Blancaflor, the renowned singer-songwriter aims to redefine Valentine’s day celebrations as she invites everyone – singles and couples alike – to a unique musical experience that promises an unforgettable evening of emotional connection and musical enchantment.
Marion’s concept stems from her desire to offer singles a fabulous space where they can enjoy the day, which is traditionally reserved for couples. “Since Valentine’s can quickly turn into Singles’ Awareness Day (S.A.D.), I wanted to create a show where singles can come together and have fun,” Marion explains with a laugh. “But of course, couples are welcome, too.”
The concert’s setlist will feature the perfect blend of love songs and heartbreak anthems, including Marion’s original hits and popular covers. But as an added treat, fans could look forward to hear and see something different when she hits the Viva Cafe stage.
“I’ll be singing both love songs and heartbreak songs. Originals and covers. Soundtracks from the blockbuster films that have used my songs as well as my singles. But I wanted the show to differ from my previous ones by changing the arrangements and making them grander, possibly adding some strings or brass to my usual band set-up. I’m hoping to provide the audience a grand concert experience in an intimate setting,” says Marion.
2024 is a year of renewed focus for Marion. After dedicating much of her energy to running her record label, Wild Dream Records, she is set to release more singles leading up to an EP, her first since 2015.
“I think it’s time to refocus some of that energy back to me as an artist,” she says of her work on the label. That said, she remains committed to discovering new talents and supporting the artists currently signed under Wild Dream Records in sharing their stories through music.
Meanwhile, Marion’s acting career continues to flourish with a role in the upcoming film A Glimpse Of Forever, helmed by noted filmmaker Jason Paul Laxamana. The film also stars Diego Loyzaga, Jerome Ponce, and Jasmine Curtis-Smith.
Valentine’s Show Para Sa Walang Ka-Valentine is Marion’s opening salvo for 2024 as she plans to do more live performances this year, both live and online on her YouTube channel,.
“Basically, I’m planning on becoming more active in all aspects of my career,” she enthused.
Reflecting on her return to the stage, Marion says: “I can’t wait to share this new experience with my supporters, friends, and my fans, the ‘Marionettes.’ I think it’ll feel like a reunion of sorts and at the same time we are opening a brand new chapter. So that’s something to look forward to.”
