Join us for Project STEP’s Annual Concert and Commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Sunday, January 17th at 3 pm.

This special concert brings together Project STEP’s talented student musicians to honor Dr. King’s enduring vision of equality, opportunity, and a more inclusive future. As the nation’s first college and career pathway program for students of color in classical music, Project STEP is committed to breaking down barriers and creating greater equity in the arts.

This year’s concert offers a particularly exciting opportunity to support that mission while helping introduce the community to La Casa by IBA, a new space celebrating culture, creativity, and connection. We see a natural alignment between Dr. King’s legacy, Project STEP’s commitment to expanding access to classical music, and the importance of creating vibrant cultural spaces where all communities can thrive.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”– Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“We see arts as a very important tool for engaging people, for engaging communities, for inviting people to come in (to La Casa), to start a conversation, to start a level of engagement and to build trust. For us, art is not an accessory… in building strong, resilient, engaged, and healthy communities.” – Vanessa Calderón-Rosado, CEO of IBA, Forbes Magazine, May 12, 2026
