About the Presenter:

Charles Stevens is a Central Fl actor/singer/music director who has spent much of his career split between New York City and Orlando. Currently he music directs with Legoland Florida and recently Orlando Family Stage. When not performing at large events with his band, you can find him at the theme parks in numerous roles. Most recently singing with The Voices of Liberty for the Candlelight Processional, playing Bruce the Shark in Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond or informing audiences of all things spooky at The Universal Studios Horror Make-Up Show. Aside from singing on stage, he has a heart for education in the arts and inspiring the next generation of performers.

Central Florida Vocal Arts is a non-profit music advocacy organization dedicated to providing the highest quality training to young artists, while also providing performance opportunities to currently emerging artists of all ages. We are creating a continuing life cycle for the vocal arts in Central Florida through a three-step model. The first step, Education and Training, introduces young artists to the arts. Through our educational initiatives, we develop students’ talent, passion, and confidence.  Next, our Mainstage Productions provide a transition period for students ages 8-18 and pre-professional adults to emerge on stage alongside local professional artists.  Our life cycle culminates with Opera del Sol, offering innovative productions in unexpected places and challenging perceptions of who the operatic performer and audience members are and what defines the genre as a whole.
