Cadenza

Join us for the annual Cadenza benefit to support the UF School of Music on Saturday, March 7, 2026. This unforgettable event begins with a pre-show reception with live music, a silent auction, and opportunities to connect with School of Music faculty, students, and fellow supporters. You’ll then experience a concert featuring performances from a diverse program of chamber ensembles, and end the evening over dessert and coffee with the performers. Cadenza is the perfect opportunity to enjoy top-notch music while connecting with others who believe in the power of philanthropy to uplift and amplify the next generation of artists.
