Prepare for an enchanting evening of melodies and memories as the Da Camera Society cordially invites you to grace the 2024 Gala. Revel in the charm of Houston's Four Seasons Hotel on May 3rd, where the harmonious blend of classical and jazz will capture your soul. Esteemed KHOU 11 News anchor Len Cannon, a familiar face since 2006 and a beacon in the journalism community, will guide the festivities as the emcee. His accolades, including multiple Emmy Awards and the Columbia University Dupont "Silver Baton," are testaments to his impactful presence both on-screen and in our city.

As the evening unfurls, indulge in cocktail hour serenades by the DACAMERA Young Artists, paving the way to a gourmet seated dinner paired with the finest curated wines. The highlight of the night is set to be the stirring headline performance by jazz pianist Jason Moran and the multi-faceted mezzo-soprano Alicia Hall Moran.

Da Camera stands as a pillar of musical innovation and excellence in Houston, driven by the passionate leadership of artistic director Sarah Rothenberg. Celebrating a remarkable tenure, Sarah embodies a commitment to invigorating classical and jazz music scenes, fostering accessible and transformative musical experiences.
