12th Annual Gala “Studio 54 Glamour”
YMU Aims to Surpass Last Year’s $1,000,000 fundraise, to provide free music education to more than 12,000 students across 75 schools
2025, Gala GuideMark your calendars for a night of dazzling glamor and meaningful impact as Young Musicians Unite (YMU) hosts its 12th Annual Gala on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at the iconic Mana Wynwood. This year’s theme, Studio 54 Glamour, will take guests back to the golden age of disco, complete with stunning performances, fabulous fashion, and an inspiring mission to beat last year’s donation total of $1M, which would allow YMU to provide over 12,000 Miami students with free music education during the 2025-2026 school year.
Since 2013, Young Musicians Unite has served over 25,000 students across Miami-Dade, offering access to free music education regardless of socio-economic background. Their programs inspire personal development, foster community, and prepare students for bright futures.
Hosted by the charismatic Kunya Rowley, this evening will also include notable players like Kaisa Levine, founder of Fridababy and dedicated philanthropist, as Gala Chair. Kaisa founded Fridababy in 2007 in Miami Beach with a $5,000 investment, creating innovative baby care products like the Nosefrida and Windi. In 2021, Fridababy was sold to S.C. Johnson & Son Inc. for $500 million. The night will also include a special appearance by acclaimed actress Gabrielle Anwar, known for her roles in Burn Notice and Scent of a Woman.
Step under the disco ball and into a world of vibrant performances, gourmet dining, and community spirit. Featuring disco hits, rock ‘n’ roll, jazz, and a captivating drumline performance, the evening will celebrate the talents of YMU’s young musicians, whose hard work throughout the year will be on full display as they perform classic hits like Stayin’ Alive and Dancing Queen.
