Vital Sounds Fundraiser and Holiday Party

  • La Puglia's Jazz Annex 1621 Wilshire Boulevard Santa Monica, CA, 90403 United States (map)

Eat, drink, and dance the night away in support of Salastina's Vital Sounds Program, an initiative that provides the healing power of music to those who need it most.

Through Vital Sounds, Salastina provides free, one-on-one, virtual bedside concerts to patients in UCLA's intensive care unit. Vital Sounds concerts take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday — rain or shine, including holidays. Since May 2020, we've provided over 51,000 minutes of music to over 2,500 patients and their caregivers.

Salastina musicians are joined by special guests Joachim Horsley and Friends. For an idea of what to expect musically -- and what you'll be dancing to: imagine the answer to the question, "what if Beethoven lived in 20th century Havana?"

Enjoy La Puglia’s passed hors’d’oeuvres, buffet dinner (including vegetarian options), dessert, and wine and cocktails throughout.

Tickets are $250 per person. All proceeds benefit Salastina’s Vital Sounds Program. Ticket sales close December 15.

Salastina thanks Dr. Nirav Kamdar for underwriting the dinner, venue rental, and concert, and Philip and Kristan Swan for underwriting the event bar.
