Join us for a special virtual holiday gathering that celebrates the transformative power of music. This year, we invite you to be inspired by Richard Antoine White - a remarkable artist who has transformed his life's challenges into a powerful narrative of hope and perseverance.

From homeless youth in Baltimore to principal tubist of the New Mexico Philharmonic and Santa Fe Symphony, Richard will share his extraordinary journey of resilience and share a Tuba performance prepared exclusively for our holiday celebration. And, in gratitude for your ongoing trust in and partnership with Siena, we will present a contribution in your honor to The RAW Tuba Foundation, whose mission is to foster positive change in our society through music and visual arts experiences for all ages. Committed to assisting rural and underserved individuals, RAW Tuba provides friendship, creativity and a sense of belonging. Their initiatives include concerts, lectures, free arts classes and stimulating activities that encourage excellence and expand possibilities for all.
