This September 16th at The Santa Fe Opera, join us for a night filled with music, hope, and unity. Proceeds will benefit cancer patients in northern New Mexico.

Jon Batiste, a multi-Grammy and Oscar award-winner, American singer, songwriter, and composer, will grace us with his extraordinary talents. Known for his soul-stirring performances that blend jazz, R&B, and soul, Batiste embodies the spirit of hope and resilience. His music entertains and inspires, making him the perfect artist to headline a night dedicated to supporting those affected by cancer.
