Renowned internationally for his passionate vocals and romantic ballads, Masri’s music spans both classical and contemporary genres.  His ability to sing in six languages, including Italian in his virtuosic performance of “Caruso,” adds to his romantic appeal, which has been described by the Boston Globe as “melting the hearts of female audience members like chocolate in the palm of warm hands.”

Masri has performed and recorded with many notable artists, including Jim Brickman and Olivia Newton-John.  He recently appeared in back-to-back PBS specials with Brickman and legendary hit-maker David Foster.

Joining Masri at the November 17 event is hip-hop violinist Lindsey Stirling, who gained national fame as a fan favorite on America’s Got Talent.  Nashville recording artists Firefly will open the show and perform the event’s theme song, titled “Here Comes Hope.”

The Scholarship Gala also highlights the remarkable stories of ANASAZI alumni – young people who have overcome significant personal challenges to rebuild family relationships and achieve goals that once seemed beyond their reach.  For reservations and table sponsorships, call (800) 678-3445 or e-mail sponsorships@anasazi.org.

Founder, ANASAZI Foundation

Great Creator, the Ancient Father of my fathers, look upon both young and old, stumbling through mists of shadows. Heed their anguished cries; hear their weeping in the darkness of despair. Great are the number of those who stagger in the brilliance of the noonday sun. Touch their eyes that they may see…open their ears that they may hear. Mend their broken hearts with tenderness. Cradle them in thy bosom; wipe their tears and give them hope for a new beginning. Hear my simple cry, Great Creator of all two-legged beings. Instill courage and determination in thy children to face with audacity the storms and winds that blow in the way of the good Path of Life.
