This Gala Evening of Brilliance & Compassion unites extraordinary artistry with purposeful philanthropy in support of ST. JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH HOSPITAL, where families are enabled to fully concentrate on their child because they NEVER receive a bill for cutting-edge treatment, travel, housing, or food. Your participation directly fuels lifesaving care and groundbreaking research—making you an essential part of every child’s fight against cancer. Treatments developed by St. Jude over the past 60 years have increased the cure rates for childhood cancers from 20% to 80% today. But that’s not good enough for St. Jude. They want to cure every child with a cancer diagnosis. Your generosity can help make that goal a reality for all families that face the devastating diagnosis of a child with cancer.
This benefit concert features internationally acclaimed pianist, Emmynominated composer, and PBS star DAME MARINA ARSENIJEVIC, whose television special Marina at West Point: Unity Through Diversity over the past decade has reached more than 170 million viewers worldwide—a true PBS phenomenon. Ranked in 2026 as the World’s Top Female Piano Influencer with nearly one million followers on INSTAGRAM and over 20 million YOUTUBE views for her music videos, Dame Marina brings her unique signature fusion of symphonic piano virtuosity, cinematic storytelling, and emotional depth to the Glazer Hall stage.
This fully immersive multimedia concert experience showcases Dame Marina’s original award-winning compositions alongside a curated selection of classical and contemporary masterpieces. The evening also marks the Florida premiere of her Gold Medal tour-de-force symphonic work TESLA RHAPSODY—synchronized with a vivid cinematic tribute honoring Nikola Tesla’s brilliance, perseverance, and world-changing inventions that became the foundations for the technological advances of the 20th and 21st centuries.
More than a concert, this is an evening where leadership, compassion, and extraordinary talent come together for a cause of profound importance—where music becomes generosity, and generosity becomes hope for every child battling cancer. Dame Marina, in keeping with the spirit of the event, has generously donated her entire performance fee to amplify further the impact of each ticket purchased for ST. JUDE.
Following the concert join us for a VIP AFTERGLOW celebration with Dame Marina and other distinguished personalities from the worlds of sports, entertainment, finance and philanthropy.
