Virtual Gala – October 22, 2020
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kaufman Music Center’s 2020 Gala took place virtually on October 22, 2020. The event was free and open to the public. More than 1,000 people tuned in to help us honor Grammy winner and Songwriters Hall of Fame Inductee Desmond Child with the Creative Arts Award, and to enjoy performances by our students and Artists-in-Residence Conrad Tao and Seth Parker Woods.
In case you missed the main event, we are pleased to make the video available to the public on this web page. The video begins at the 15 minute mark. Download the event program.
