Sinfonia Gulf Coast — the region’s only fully professional symphony orchestra led by Music and Artistic Director Demetrius Fuller — launches its 12th season Sinfonia Gulf Coast on a high note on with “An Evening with Chris Mann” on Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2017.
This delicious evening presented by Pish Posh Patchouli’s begins at 5:30 p.m. with a four-course wine dinner at Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar in Grand Boulevard at Sandestin in Miramar Beach, followed by an intimate cabaret-style performance space located upstairs at 560 Grand Boulevard (just steps from Fleming’s).
Chris Mann’s crystalline voice has garnered both his place as a finalist on NBC’s “The Voice” and rave reviews of both his PBS “Live in Concert” performance and lead role in the 25th anniversary tour of “The Phantom of the Opera.” His albums “Roads” and “Constellation” topped Billboard and Amazon charts. With more than a thousand concert and symphony performances around the globe, his golden voice and entertaining stories dazzle audiences across the country. His special performance for Sinfonia will take music lovers on a magical journey from Broadway to contemporary standards to the Great American Songbook.
“Sinfonia’s cabaret kick off to the season provides an amazing evening with a world-class guest artist, incredible culinary fare and a unique, intimate setting,” said Demetrius Fuller, Sinfonia Gulf Coast Music and Artistic Director.
Tickets are $195 per person includes dinner, wine, valet, gratuity and performance. Proceeds from the event will benefit Sinfonia Gulf Coast and its music education programs. For more information or to purchase tickets, go to SinfoniaGulfCoast.org or call (850) 460-8800.
