Internationally-recognized classical tenor, Andrea Bocelli, mesmerized over 250 guests with his legendary vocals last night at a private concert that raised over $600,000 for the children of Haiti. The exclusive affair was hosted by developers Jorge M. Perez and Gil Dezer at the Residences by Armani/Casa Design Center in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. The captivating performance was followed by a romantic moonlit dinner reception on the design center's oceanfront terrace, where VIP guests, including supermodel Petra Nemcova and Miami Dolphins star running back Jay Ajayi, had the rare opportunity to dine with the Maestro.
All funds from the private concert and dinner benefited The Andrea Bocelli Foundation's education projects in Haiti, which aid five community schools located in the most remote area of the country, providing free education and healthcare to over 2,500 children daily.
