  • 9th Annual Winter Music Showcase

    Celebrate the season at the Grace Fisher Foundation’s 9th Annual Winter Music Showcase, an evening of music, dance, and art—all for a cause at The Granada Theatre.

    This beloved Santa Barbara holiday tradition brings together professional artists, local performers, and individuals of all abilities for an unforgettable night of creativity and community. From orchestral and vocal performances to dance, original music by Grace Fisher, and special collaborations, the Showcase celebrates the power of the arts to connect and inspire. Returning favorites include Grammy Award winner Michael McDonald, Jackson Gillies, the Santa Barbara Chamber Players, Grace Fisher, and others.

    More than a holiday concert, the Winter Music Showcase is the Grace Fisher Foundation’s signature annual benefit event. Proceeds from the evening help support free, year-round inclusive arts programs at the Inclusive Arts Clubhouse, creating opportunities for people of all abilities to experience, participate in, and express themselves through the arts.
