Dubbed by her fans in the United States as the “Standing Ovation Queen," Filipino-American singer Stephanie Reese will join the ranks of world-class Filipino talents Lea Salonga and Regine Velasquez in having the privilege of performing at the famed Carnegie Hall in New York.

Reese, who has both Filipino and American roots, attracted her fans and admirers with the range of her voice and song choices, which vary from Broadway, opera, ballad, pop, kundiman, and even hip hop – which she will be showcasing on November 7 at the Carnegie Hall.

Like Tony Award-winning Broadway actress Salonga, Reese also played “Kim" in the German production of Miss Saigon. She has also played the characters of “Esmeralda" in Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame and “Prince Tuptim" in the King and I.

The Fil-Am singer-actress has also directed and starred in an autobiographical one-woman show titled The Journey, which received rave reviews in Seattle, San Jose, Lose Angeles and in San Francisco.

The Gifts, a musical Christmas show which Reese wrote and directed, has also been produced in three US cities including Seattle, Virginia Beach, and Los Angeles for the Make a Wish Foundation.

Reese made her Hollywood debut last year at the three-day celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Crustacean Restaurant in Beverly Hills where she shared the stage with international singers Patti Labelle and Natalie Cole.

Tony Award-winning Broadway actress Lea Salonga and Asia`s Songbird Regine Velasquez go down in Philippine history as some of the few Filipino artists who have performed at the Carnegie Hall in New York in 2005 and 1991, respectively.

Her performance of the song Nessun Dorma created such a buzz that the Filipina singer was able to launch her first big solo concert at the Normandie Casino in Los Angeles to a sold out audience and three standing ovations, giving her the title “The Standing Ovation Queen."

She has also performed solo concerts in Russia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, China, the U.S. and Canada.

Her most recent Philippine concert titled “I am Stephanie Reese" was held at the Teatrino, Promenade at the Greenhills Shopping Center last May 4.

Reese has two solo albums - “The Voice" and “Stephanie Reese at Her Best" - but is set to come out with her next album soon.

Aside from her singing career, Reese is also involved in charitable organizations like Gawad Kalinga, an organization that builds homes for the poor in the Philippines, to which she will donate the proceeds of her Carnegie Hall performance.

Reese studied as an opera performance major at the Indiana University and at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music for Musical Theater.
