Fernando Varela, will be returning to The Villages for the first time since his meteoric run on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.”
“It’s been a whirlwind,” Fernando said in a phone interview Monday from Colorado. “But it’s going to feel really, really good to get back home and see some familiar faces.”
Fernando will be performing in January at New Covenant United Methodist Life Center in The Villages.
There will be two concerts Friday, Jan. 24 (at 5 and 8 p.m.) and Saturday, Jan. 25 (at 3 and 7 p.m.)
New Covenant United Methodist Life Center seats 1,150 and has been designed with concerts in mind.
Fernando will also produce the concert, bringing a New York caliber production value to this brand new venue.
“It is an honor to have a homegrown, international star from right here in The Villages at New Covenant to present four concerts benefitting our Worship Ministries as we seek to lift people up and show them the love of God each week. These concerts are going to be incredible,” said Mike Snow, New Covenant’s Director of Worship Ministry & The Arts.
Fernando has been on a torrid pace in the last year with debut performances at The Kennedy Center with the National Symphony, Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall and singing for President Barack Obama at the White House.
Tickets for this run of performances will be available at all Villages box office locations, at New Covenant United Methodist Church or online at www.thevillages.net/boxoffice.
