SPRING SHOWCASE GALA
SAVE THE DATE for this season’s Spring Showcase Gala at World Cafe Live, on Wednesday March 20th, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. Early Sponsorships coming soon!
Last year’s Spring Showcase at World Cafe Live was something truly exceptional – a new venue, unique format, and dynamic performances by Astral Artists Natalia Kazaryan, Beomjae Kim, Brittany Lasch, Zhenni Li-Cohen, and Ronaldo Rolim. Our host, Jonathan Beyer delighted guests with his charisma and engaging charm, and the positive energy in the Music Hall was palpable.
We look forward to continuing our partnership with World Cafe Live in the 2023-24 season!
