We were one of the fortunate 1,000 there last night to see and hear 'Forte', a packed house. Forte is the 3 Tenors who competed in America's Got Talent a few years ago and came in 4th in the final. They had met online and never performed until the start of AGT. They had a huge impact on the judges and audience and received the longest standing ovation ever on the show.
Fernando Varela resides in the Orlando area and performs all over the world including much in The Villages. The other 2 tenors Sean and Josh perform around the world as well. Last night was the first time they sang together for years, per Fernando.

Well the show last night was stunning - a wonderful 46 piece orchestra headed by a renowned conductor. And a fantastic composer and pianist, William Joseph who is so talented.

The selections for the 2+ hour show were so varied - from operatic to heavy metal. It was so first-class and if you didn't know you were at the Sharon, this could have been a show in a major city around the world, at 4 times the ticket cost. The acoustics and lighting were first class, as of course was every musician and singer.

We are SO FORTUNATE to be able to attract such talent to TV and The Sharon as a great venue. They have another show tonight, but no doubt sold out to another lucky 1K of us.

Not to leave on a down-note, but the performances would have been perfect last night except IMO the drummer was simply too loud in a few numbers- overloaded the auditory with drumming covering the beautiful violins or singers. Other than that - yikes, a night to relish.

Agree. The show was AMAZING! A heartwarming moment was when Fernando recognized his first voice teacher, Maestro Bill Doherty. We are indeed very fortunate to have entertainment of this caliber.

Drummer wasn't too loud he was fantastic as was the entire show.
