16 Time Grammy Award Winner David Foster Visits Lakeside!

By Michelle Sharp, Head of Communications and Marketing

CIS was proud to have Canadian singer, songwriter, record producer and 16 time Grammy award winner David Foster perform and converse with high school students at the official opening of the Lakeside Campus theatre. David Foster is a long-time friend of Knowledge Universe and the CIS community was thrilled that he took time out of his busy tour Schedule and perform at the new 500 seat theatre Of the Lakeside Campus.

In addition to being one of the most successful Entertainers and producers in the music industry, David Foster has worked with celebrities such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston, Chicago, Michael BublĂ©, Josh Groban, Earth Wind & Fire, N’Sync, Natalie Cole, Michael Bolton and Charice to name only a few.

It was a privileged opportunity for CIS students to interact in a personal and very candid way with a global entertainment leader whose impact on the industry over the last few decades has been enormous. Inviting students and staff to join him in impromptu Performances, David Foster wowed the packed theatre with his warm, easy-going wit and of course his world class talent as a Composer/producer.

During the assembly, David Foster took the time to thoughtfully and humorously interact with students about their futures while playing several of his better known numbers with the audience singing and clapping along.     A big thank you to Knowledge Universe for helping make this event with David Foster possible!
