Kris, Gabby, Kuh, and Isabella for LOVE MATTERS Valentine Concert

I cannot believe it is already February! And we all know that aside from the Chinese New Year and People Power Anniversary, we always look forward to Valentine's Day that will stir love in many ways.  As many concerts are found down south, it’s going to be a star-studded pre-Valentine’s Day celebration at ABS-CBN Vertis Tent!

Prince of RnB Kris Lawrence, penultimate pop diva Kuh Ledesma, along with their special guests, dramatic actor Gabby Concepcion and Kuh's daughter Isabella Gonzalez, will create the perfect musical backdrop for a romantic evening of love songs, nostalgic pop hits and other timeless classics in their concert special dubbed LOVE MATTERS, to be held at the ABS-CBN Vertis Tent on February 13.

Fresh from the critical success of last year’s jampacked Soul Brothers concert at the Kia Theater, Kris was recently feted at the recently-concluded 3rd Wish Music Awards, bagging the Bronze Wishclusive Elite Circle award for garnering 10 million plus YouTube views for his Versace On The Floor video.”

“We’re spreading love and good vibes,” Kris shares. “And it will be such a great honor performing with one of our most-respected pop icons, along with one of our finest dramatic actors and matinee idols.”
