Joseph A. Melbourne, Jr., president of CFE, said the credit union is the key sponsor of the event because \u201cwe believe in people helping people.\u201d The credit union provides $50,000 worth of scholarships a year. \u201cWe believe it\u2019s very important to support Jazz On A Green because we want to raise some funds for the community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Lewis, one of eight children born in Haines City, grew up singing in the choir at her father\u2019s church. She started her career with Grammy and Oscar Award winner Peabo Bryson, who invited her to tour the world with him as a backing vocalist and his new duet partner. Her acquaintance with Bryson led to a worldwide tour with Grammy and Oscar Award winner Celine Dion. Lewis spent several years working with Dion as her backing vocalist, vocal director and choreographer.<\/p>\n
She blew away all four judges on this season\u2019s The Voice and chose Coach Blake Shelton who told her, “You’re One In A Trillion.\u201d Coach Usher told Lewis he was \u201cblown away\u201d at her voice, saying, \u201cYou are our teacher, even as experienced as we are.\u201d Fellow coach Shakira said \u201cSisaundra is one of the most amazing vocalists I’ve ever heard.\u201d<\/p>\n
So bring your picnic basket, a blanket and a friend and enjoy a night of jazz with a Central Florida superstar \u2013 all for a good cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The outdoor concert, presented by CFE Federal Credit Union, will raise scholarship funds for UCF medical students and the Lake Nona YMCA.
