The 13th Annual YMU Gala: Havana Nocturna is chaired by a distinguished committee of community leaders whose vision and passion set the tone for an unforgettable night. Guests will step into a world of glamour and generosity, beginning with a red-carpet entrance and professional photography, then moving into a chic cocktail hour with a premium open bar.

The evening unfolds with inspiring live performances by YMU’s in-school and after-school musicians, followed by a lavish seated dinner and culminating in the electrifying Havana Nocturna dance party.

Among the guests will be Miami’s leading socialites, philanthropists, and cultural figures, all gathered with a shared purpose: to celebrate the arts and to ensure that every child in Miami-Dade has access to free, high-quality music education.
