50th Anniversary Kick-Off Celebration

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Join us for an unforgettable evening of performances!
Featuring over 80 of the Bay Area’s top artists, this is a rare opportunity to see 4 hours of non-stop soul and energy on three stages in celebration of East Bay Center’s 50th Anniversary.
Walk into our state-of-the-art facility and be immersed in the sounds of tenor saxophone titan Howard Wiley and rising star jazz vocalist Tiffany Austin as they lead an all-star set of Bay Area jazz luminaries. Go upstairs to catch a Brahms violin concerto or Cirque du Soleil style aerial dance. Catch In My Corner, an award-winning theater piece by the Joe Orrach Performance Project about growing up in NYC - just back from touring Moscow, an all star Brazilian Samba and Capoeira floor show, or a Ghanaian highlife style party led by CK Ladzekpo and Francis Akotuah. Step out onto the hottest dance floor anywhere in the East Bay that night with Cuban artist Susana Arenas leading the steps, accompanied by stellar salsa group Somos el Son. From Mexican Son to rap, hip-hop dance crews and soul singer Valerie Troutt with MoonCandy, this will be a one-of-a-kind evening.
Bring your thirst and your appetite - local food trucks, breweries, and winemakers will be onsite all night selling special menu items. The party is BART accessible.
Proceeds from the event will go to support our 5,000 young student artists who are being taught by the talented artists you will see and meet. Performances are being underwritten by generous sponsors, including Fleishhacker Foundation Special Arts Fund, MAP Fund, and Zellerbach Family Foundation Community Arts Fund.
This is truly an evening not to be missed as we kick off our 50th Anniversary year with our community!
