Upcoming events.
Hunny B’s Rhapsody
Harmony runs in the family! There’s a special kind of magic that happens when voices share the same DNA. The Honey Bees aren't just a singing duet; they are a mother-daughter powerhouse bringing a rare, "blood harmony" connection to the stage.
From soulful ballads to foot-tapping acoustic hits, their performances feel less like a concert and more like an invitation into their living room.
Gala Cancelled
With many of our supporters evacuated from the fire, it doesn’t make sense to have the Gala this year. Please continue supporting LCA by attending the many art classes and concerts still on the calendar. We appreciate your support.
