Segerstrom Center for the Arts welcomes Grammy® Award-winning singer-songwriter
Peter Cetera for a special Valentine’s Day concert on February 14, 2019, at 8 p.m. in the Renée and Henry
Segerstrom Concert Hall.
Cetera will perform his most beloved romantic and power ballads. With distinct
careers as both a co-founder of the legendary rock band Chicago and more than two decades as an
internationally acclaimed solo artist, Cetera’s incomparable legacy of songs continues to touch the lives of
audiences around the world.
His trademark tenor has helped create some of the most iconic hits of a
generation, including the timeless love ballad “If You Leave Me” and the Academy Award®-nominated “Glory
of Love.”
Peter Cetera has had two distinct musical careers. From 1968 thru 1986 Cetera was the singer, songwriter and bass player for the legendary rock group Chicago.

A solo artist since 1986, Cetera has recorded 10 time-honored CDs including his #1 hits, the Oscar®-
