Celebrating Past, Present, and Future Artists

The annual LACHSA Gala is a way to raise much-needed funds for our arts programming while celebrating the extraordinary talent, dedication, and drive of our LACHSA artists. This year we celebrated our 35th anniversary at the Avalon Hollywood, with a night of spectacular performances and appearances by past, present, and future LACHSA artists including our host, Taran Killam ’00, with special performances by Kris Bowers ’06, Gretchen Parlato ’94, Gerald Clayton ’96, Ashley Thompson ’92, Naren Rauch ’95, and Dante Pascuzzo ’94. Check out our photo gallery and videos below to see what a special night it was, raising over $480,000 for LACHSA! Thank you to everyone who helped make it happen.

Greetings
