Four decades. Seventy-one music industry awards. Thirty albums. Thousands of performances. Countless memories. Asia's premier vocal group The Company is celebrating an extraordinary 40-year journey in music with "Company40," a major concert event happening on June 14 at The Theatre at Solaire.

Formed in July 1985 by alumni of the Ateneo College Glee Club, The Company began as background vocalists for prominent pop artists of the '80s. But it didn't take long for them to step into the spotlight themselves, quickly becoming a force to reckon with in the Philippine music scene. Their blend of musical sophistication, tight harmonies and genre-bending style made them a household name and an enduring presence in the industry.

The group's current members — Sweet Plantado-Tiongson (soprano), Annie Quintos (soprano/alto), OJ Mariano (tenor), and Moy Ortiz (tenor II/bass) — represent a polished, harmonious unit that exudes musicality, chemistry and an unmistakable charm honed by decades of collaboration and reinvention.
