Award winning jazz vocalist Lisanne Lyons, who has performed with some of jazz’s luminaries, will be the headline performer at the South Florida Youth Symphony’s fundraising gala, Oct. 28, at the Miami Shores Country Club, 10000 Biscayne Blvd.
The costume gala and auction, to benefit the 59-year-old organization’s ongoing mission of empowering young musicians, honors Miami Dade College’s North Campus president Fermin Vazquez’s quarter of a century of leadership experience in public higher education and his ongoing support of the South Florida Youth Symphony.
The event begins with a 6:30 p.m. cocktail hour, followed by dinner at 7:30 p.m.
“The Youth Symphony is one of the country’s leading youth music organizations, and it is an honor to be able to perform at their gala,” said Lyons, founder and director of Jazz Vocal Studies at Florida International University.
Lyons has performed with jazz luminaries and several big bands and orchestras throughout the country such as Woody Herman, Bobby McFerrin, Maynard Ferguson, Gene Krupa, the Four Freshman, and Harry James.
A portion of the funds raised from the event will help the Emmy and Gold Medal-winning SFYS provide scholarships and instruments for students from low income and underserved households in North Miami-Dade County.
Individual tickets are $150 and a limited number of gala sponsorships are available at the Prelude ($1,800), Intermezzo ($2,800) and Fortissimo ($5,000) level. The Fortissimo level includes a table for 10 and a private concert at a residence or business event.
