MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. — Patti LaBelle, Grammy-winning singer and actress, will perform at Sandestin for one night only in October, Sinfonia Gulf Coast has announced.
LaBelle is headlining Sinfonia Gulf Coast’s Annual Gala Event, a fundraiser for the organization.
An Evening with Patti LaBelle is October 11 in the Magnolia Ballroom of Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort in Miramar Beach. The one-night-only evening of entertainment begins with a reception at 6 p.m.
“Sinfonia’s Gala Event always provides an incredible evening, and we are honored to present the Godmother of Soul, Ms. Patti LaBelle,” said Demetrius Fuller, Sinfonia Music & Artistic Director.
Ticket prices start from $300 per person and include reception, silent auction, dinner, performance, taxes, and gratuities.
LaBelle is perhaps best known for her chart-topping hits such as Lady Marmalade and New Attitude. The soulful singer’s name is synonymous with grace, style, elegance, and class. Belting out classic rhythm and blues renditions, pop standards, and spiritual sonnets has created the unique platform of versatility for which she is known and revered.
In 2017, LaBelle launched a record label, GPE Records, and released her first jazz album, Bel Hommage.
Beyond performing music, she has been featured in popular films and television programs such as A Soldier’s Story, A Different World, American Horror Story, and starred in her own TV series, Out All Night.
She’s also wowed television audiences with unforgettable performances on the hit shows, Dancing with the Stars and The Masked Singer, and starred in Broadway productions of Your Arms are Too Short to Box with God, Fela, and After Midnight.
A celebrated author, LaBelle has written six books: Don’t Block the Blessings, LaBelle Cuisine: Recipes to Sing About, Patti’s Pearls, Patti LaBelle’s Lite Cuisine, Recipes for the Good Life and Desserts LaBelle.
As an entrepreneur, she launched Patti’s Good Life, a food and lifestyle brand that features a variety of frozen comfort foods, breakfast items, and desserts, including her world-famous sweet potato pie.
“Each year, I grow, and that’s a blessing from God. I do what I can do. It’s not about making money because I don’t need money, but I need to sing,” LaBelle said.
Proceeds from the event benefit Sinfonia Gulf Coast and its education and community engagement initiatives throughout Northwest Florida. Full table reservations are available, and a limited number of sponsorship opportunities remain.
