Solstice Sessions

January 21, 2026

Solstice Sessions is an intimate cabaret series celebrating connection, storytelling, and the warmth of live music under the soft glow of the spotlight. Each edition explores a unique theme—from dream roles to Disney nights and beyond—bringing together a diverse lineup of voices to reimagine beloved musical theatre songs. The January performance highlights Tony Award® winner Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, In the Heights, Moana, Vivo, Encanto). With musical direction by Kent Dennis and appearances by special guests from Broadway and beyond, every evening offers audiences a fresh, heartfelt experience. Produced by Sabrea Aijalon with help from Creative Director Daniela Díaz, Solstice Sessions invites you to gather, listen, and find light in the magic of performance.
