Acts include award-winning Latin icons Oro Solido, guitar virtuoso Tommy Emmanuel
BETHLEHEM, PA — Highlighted by internationally-known merengue band Oro Solido and the accomplished guitarist Tommy Emmanuel, ArtsQuest has added seven live events to its May and June schedule which will be on sale to the public by Fri., Apr. 2 at 10 a.m. The shows, which also include The Sensational Soul Cruisers, Craig Thatcher Band, Dom Flemons, Broken Arrow: A Tribute to Neil Young and The Lone Bellow, are being produced in accordance to CDC, state and city health and safety guidelines.
Established in 1994 by Raul Acosta, a.k.a. “El Presidente,” Oro Solido quickly became a staple on both English and Spanish-language radio stations, then becoming the first merengue band to perform on both Fox 5 News New York and “The Jerry Lewis Telethon.” They also performed at President George W. Bush’s second inauguration and have performed alongside a diverse array of artists that include 50 Cent, Marc Anthony, LeAnn Rimes and Tito Puente. Acosta has won numerous awards along the way, including Premios Estrella, Premios ACE and Premios Lo Nuestro.
“We are excited to bring this spectacular family-friendly show during this time,” said Victor Martinez, the owner and president of La Mega radio (101.7 FM), who have partnered with ArtsQuest to present Oro Solido. “We are committed to supporting our Hispanic community and the community at large; we’re ecstatic that we can lift people’s spirits with one of our greatest bands!”
Oro Solido will be presented on May 8 at 7 p.m. on the outdoor Highmark Blue Shield Community Stage at the Air Products Town Square.
Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks presented by Coordinated Health, now part of Lehigh Valley Health Network, will host the Grammy-nominated Australian guitarist Tommy Emmanuel. One of only four people to receive the Certified Guitar Player award from Chet Atkins, a world-known leader in guitar music before his passing in 2001, Emmanuel returns to SteelStacks on May 20 for a show presented by T-Mobile.
