Seal Headlines Van Wezel Foundation Gala

Four-time Grammy Award-winning artist Seal makes his Sarasota debut as the star of the 18th Annual Van Wezel Foundation Gala on Saturday, February 16 at 5:00 PM

Known for his one of a kind soaring, husky baritone voice and classic songwriting, Seal has seen success across numerous genres of music. Over the year's he's extended his influence with a wide catalog of original music and soulful covers earning him 16 Grammy nominations, winning four, and selling more than 30 million albums worldwide. Seal's iconic baritone voice will soar through the intimate Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall as he performs his greatest hits including "Crazy" and "Kiss from a Rose".

You won't want to miss out on one of the most exciting and elegant events of the season which includes cocktails by the Bay, live & silent auctions, gourmet dinner under the tent, premium seating for the Seal performance, and a lively after-party featuring one of Sarasota's favorite party bands, The Soul Sensations!

Gala reservations begin at $600 and a VIP ticket is being offered for $1,200. As in year's past, the Gala will also include a chance drawing for an all-new 2019 Land Rover Discovery Sport sponsored by Wilde Land Rover of Sarasota. Only 1,000 tickets will be sold for a $100 donation per ticket.

Proceeds will support the Van Wezel's arts education programs, hall beautification, and Community Outreach which includes special ticketing for veterans, seniors, and families with low incomes. Each year, over 30,000 students, teachers, and families across four local counties are served through the Schooltime Performance Program, an arts education program that brings reading and classroom lessons to life on stage
