OPM icon Raymond Lauchengco is celebrating his 60th birthday with an all-star concert on Nov. 28, a new song out on Oct. 8, and a book of artworks and stories!
“As I turn 60 this November and officially become a senior Bagets, I want to celebrate with people I love, friends who’ve made my life the greatest adventure, and music that has filled my life and yours. Now, more than ever, I want to share with everyone my favorite stories!" Raymond enthused.
Taking off from the award-winning success of last year's "Just Got Lucky: The 40th Anniversary Concert," the singer returns to The Theatre at Solaire on Nov. 28, 2025 for a concert entitled, "Everybody Loves Raymond."
This one-night-only musical celebration promises an unforgettable evening filled with songs, memories, and masterful performances. Joining him onstage are powerhouse guests Sharon Cuneta, Mitch Valdes, Ice Seguerra, and other surprise performers.
Behind the scenes is a dream team of creative heavyweights: stage director Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo, musical director Marvin Querido, video designer GA Fallarme, lighting designer Dominique Gallardo, fashion designer JC Buendia, stylists Jing Monis and Sidney Yap, and graphic designer Paw Castillo. Presented by Global Resource Creative Exchange (GRCX), the show is produced by Girlie Rodis, Angela Lauchengco, and Mia Lauchengco, together with an exceptional production team.
Making the show even more meaningful, the event will also support the UP PGH Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, which is celebrating its 65th Sapphire Founding Anniversary this year.
Raymond describes the milestone concert as his most personal yet.
But before that, Raymond drops a new song, "My Favorite Story," on all music platforms on Oct. 8. Composed by Odette Quesada and her late husband, Bodjie Dasig, with a new arrangement by Marvin Querido, "My Favorite Story" speaks of an appreciation for cherished life experiences and captures the essence of Raymond's music journey.
Raymond is also unveiling a book of essays and artworks entitled, "Dance With The Wind: Art and Stories from the Stillness," which will be available at the concert and thereafter.
For the singer-artist, these are his humble gifts to the people who've stood by him through his more than four decades in the industry. Raymond tells friends and supporters, “Hopefully, I can make you smile."
"Everybody Loves Raymond" is made possible by Solid Shipping Line Corp., Skeen Face & Body Anti-Aging Centre, Avolution, and Tough Mama.
Tickets to "Everybody Loves Raymond" are now available online at ticketworld.com.ph. More information on the concert, new single, and preorder forms for the book can be found on his website, RaymondLauchengco.com.
