Get ready for an electrifying evening where the charm of disco meets the vibrant spirit of student musicians! “Young Musicians Unite” is hosting its 12th annual gala, aiming to raise funds for music education across Miami.

Event Details

The upcoming gala will transform Mana Wynwood into a pulsating dance floor reminiscent of the iconic Studio 54. Scheduled for April 26, this event promises an unforgettable night of music, dancing, and purpose.

Star-studded Headliners

Among the notable attendees will be actress Gabrielle Anwar, who expressed enthusiasm about the event, saying, “What is happening at YMU? It’s gonna be crazy.” Her presence adds a special touch as attendees prepare for a night filled with entertainment.

Thematic Highlights

The evening’s theme is disco, inspired by the vibrant era of the 1970s. Event coordinator Sammy Gonzalez shared the motivation behind the theme: “We wanna do disco because it’s a party, it’s fun.” The gala encourages attendees to dress up in period-appropriate attire and join in on the dancing.

Students participating in the gala are just as excited about the theme. Stella Rodriguez remarked, “I’m very excited for the 12th annual gala. We’ve participated in previous galas, and it’s always a highlight of the year.” Fellow student Sophia Frank echoed her sentiments, saying, “It feels very ’70s, like we went back in time.”

Supporting Music Education

The primary goal of the gala is to raise significant funds to support free music education within Miami’s schools. Gonzalez stated, “We believe that every child deserves access to free music education. We work with over 9,000 students across 61 schools in Miami.” Originally aiming to raise $1 million, the organization has now set an ambitious target of $1.5 million due to previous successes.

A Private Music Festival Experience

Gabrielle Anwar described the atmosphere, stating, “The night is beautiful; it’s like a private music festival. Everybody who attends is just dancing and tripping out on how talented these kids are.” With a mix of jazz, throwback anthems, and energetic drumlines, this gala promises to be a celebration of both talent and community spirit.
