CANADA \u2013 Renowned Filipino pop songstress Joey Albert and acclaimed American composer Dennis Lambert recently shared the stage to raise funds for a local church in Coquitlam.<\/p>\n

The artists showcased their talents for the benefit of the St. Clare of Assisi Parish in shows held in Abbotsford and Burnaby, British Columbia.<\/p>\n

“This started as a fundraiser for St. Clare and it seems we will pass our goal of $10,000 and, more than that, the full house was just so overwhelming and my heart is full. I don’t know what else to say,” Albert said.<\/p>\n

Albert performed some of her all-time favorite OPM hits, such as “Tell Me”, “A Million Miles Away”, and “Iisa pa Lamang”,<\/p>\n

She was joined onstage by guest singer and fellow-Filipino, Ray Ann Fuentes, who rendered a medley of OPM hits, as well.<\/p>\n

Lambert, whose single \u201cOf All the Things\u201d hit it huge in Manila some decades ago, played several of his hits, chosen by Albert.<\/p>\n

“I’m the one who knows which of his songs were famous among us Filipinos so I picked those songs. I only picked a few for me because I really wanted him to shine tonight, and having Ray Ann was a treat too because it really brought out the local talent here,” Albert said.<\/p>\n

The audience was enthused by Lambert\u2019s music; something of which he was very appreciative.<\/p>\n

“I think the audience was great, so receptive, so warm and responsive to the songs and I thought Joey and Ray Ann were fantastic, and it was an honor for me to be on a show with them,” said Lambert.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time that Albert and Lambert perform together, having put up a successful show last year in San Francisco to raise funds for victims of typhoon Haiyan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
