ProMusica’s 2026 Soiree Benefit and Concert featuring Samara Joy will be on Monday, March 23, 2026. The event starts with a cocktail party at 5:30 PM at The Westin Great Southern Hotel Ballroom (310 S High St, Columbus, OH 43215) followed by the concert at 7:30 PM at the Southern Theatre (21 E Main St, Columbus, OH 43215).

Five-time Grammy Award–winning vocalist Samara Joy joins us for our 2026 Soirée Benefit & Concert! Hailed as one of today’s most exciting jazz artists, Samara has captivated audiences with her rich, velvety voice and deep musical maturity beyond her years. Rising to international prominence after winning the 2019 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition, she brings a fresh, contemporary spirit to the classic jazz tradition, redefining the genre for a new generation.

As our largest fundraiser, we rely on volunteers to fill some roles: setup, registration tables, raffle ticket sales, greeters, and breakdown. We have a brief training upstairs in the room next to the ballroom to ease you in your role when you arrive the day of. The expected time commitment would be arriving at 4:15 PM and wrapping up around 8:00 PM. If you need to arrive a little later or leave a little earlier, that would be fine, just let us know in advance to coordinate. All volunteers are more than welcome to stay after the cocktail party is over to enjoy the remaining part of the concert (Please note: Seats are not guaranteed, but we welcome you to stand and listen at the main floor with the staff and ushers). At the end of your volunteer shift, you will also receive a voucher for a ticket to an upcoming concert! We ask that volunteers dress in cocktail attire.

Garlic mustard is a biennial herb that was introduced from Europe in the 19th century. Since its introduction, garlic mustard has made its way across most of the United States, including every county in Ohio. It poses a threat to our native species by competing with spring flowers and suppressing soil fungi that have synergistic relationships with trees. Because garlic mustard competes with the plants that native animals need for food and shelter, the whole woodland ecosystem is affected.

If you enjoy spending time alone in nature, this may be the opportunity for you. Volunteers will be assigned zones that they can tend at a time of their choosing. 

Volunteer commitment time frame: Mid-April to early June. This coincides with the timing of garlic mustard emergence and seed production. After training, volunteers are able to serve at a time that is convenient for you. 

Teams are welcome.
