The musical tribute to Celine Dion will be beautifully performed by Legend Award recipient Jenene Caramielo, who has sold out cabaret performances from Palm Beach's Royal Room to Feinstein's 54 Below in NYC, and headlined on luxury cruise lines Regent, Oceania, and Crystal. A true crossover entertainer adept at belting out songs from Broadway to Whitney Houston, she has shared the stage with Chicago, opened for the Beach Boys, and sang the national anthem before Major League baseball games. Broadway World has hailed her "thrilling voice" and "elite level" performance style.

Also performing at the gala will be Legend Award recipient Peter Cincotti, who has been wowing audiences around the world since he was 18. The singer-pianist-songwriter has headlined at such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall and Café Carlyle to L'Olympia in Paris. Blending influences ranging from Nat King Cole, Billy Joel, and Lady Gaga, to John Lennon, Bill Evans, and Coldplay, Cincotti connects generations of pianists with his daring arrangements and sultry vocals. He released his sixth album Killer on the Keys last fall.
