One of the most exciting parts about my job here at Barona Resort & Casino is helping to create an exciting line up of events for our VIP Club Barona members.
On August 28, Barona is thrilled to present Filipina actress and singing sensation Lea Salonga live in concert. Only invited Club Barona members are eligible to attend this exclusive concert but we’ve saved five pairs of tickets for readers of the Barona Blog. So, if you sign up and subscribe to the Barona Blog you have a chance to win tickets! Please continue reading to learn how.
Many of you may be familiar with this amazing entertainer as her career has taken her across stage and screen. She is probably best known for her musical role in Miss Saigon, for which she won the Olivier, Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics and Theatre World Awards. She also starred in the Broadway production of Les Misérables and brought the singing voices of Princess Jasmin and Mulan to life in the Disney classics Aladdin and Mulan. Her albums Lea in Love and By Heart have both gone platinum in the Phillipines. Some of her top hits include I Remember the Boy, I Don’t Love You Anymore, Even If, and Friend of Mine.
This upcoming concert has many people in the Filipino community very excited. Connecting and partnering with our local diverse community has always been a priority for us at Barona. We also have a rich and diverse multicultural staff and believe their presence and language skills contribute to a casino and overall entertainment experience that we hope is comfortable and pleasing for all cultures.
We’ve been able to achieve wonderful community connections by offering exciting promotions and events such as the Philippine Independence Day celebration held this past July. We owe a great deal of thanks to Asuncion ‘Shonee’ Henry and the Pasacat Philippine Performing Arts Company for their partnership. The event truly exceeded our expectations and we were pleased by how positively it was received by the community at large.
And, just this past weekend Barona was a sponsor of Fiesta Del Sol, one of the largest Latino street festivals in the United States. We’ve also been a sponsor of December Nights, the largest free community festival in San Diego. And, Barona’s very own PowWow is coming up on Labor Day weekend. These are only a few examples of the many multicultural events, programs and charities Barona supports ever year.
