Champagne & Roses: A Mother's Day Celebration with Victor Fields
General Admission and VIP tickets are available for purchase at the door.
This year, celebrate Mother's Day with a complimentary "Rose and Champagne Reception" and world-class jazz at the new Performance Center at Worcester Academy!
On Sunday, May 8, 2016, join Worcester Academy alum, Trustee, internationally acclaimed jazz vocal artist and recipient of the 2016 Cole Porter Arts Recognition Award, Victor Fields, for an afternoon of Jazz, Blues, R&B and Pop.
Victor's love of music was cultivated and shaped by his mother, a singer and a Julliard-trained pianist. "My mother taught me how to sing and to appreciate beautiful music", Fields says. His rich gauzy tenor and his ability to move seamlessly between musical genres caused the legendary Lou Rawls to call him, "the man with the golden voice" and the Los Angeles Times to describe him as "a stylistically accomplished singer".
A Billboard-charted artist and a leading interpreter of classic American music, Fields has performed on stage with Isaac Hayes, Cameo, Dee Dee Bridgewater, James Ingram, and Patti Austin. With sold-out performances in San Francisco and Bridgeport, CT, his intimate connection with his audience inspired Latoya Willis to write, "Victor sang from the heart. I took home a piece of his spirit with me."
Victor will share music from his newest release, "The Lou Rawls Project" - #3 on the UK Soul Chart and designated as one of the top 15 R&B CDs released in 2015 along with the likes of Angie Stone, Maysa, Charlie Wilson, and R. Kelly - as well as selections from his extensive repertoire.
Doors open at 2PM for the pre-Concert reception. The concert begins at 3 PM.
