Wildflowers: Kurt Elling with Ben Paterson
Join the School of American Music (SAM) for Wildflowers, a very special evening featuring Grammy Award-winning jazz vocalist Kurt Elling with acclaimed pianist Ben Paterson.
Wildflowers is more than an extraordinary night of live music—it is the School of American Music’s largest fundraiser of the year, supporting SAM’s scholarship fund and community programming. Proceeds from the event help make quality music education accessible to students, regardless of their financial circumstances, and support programs that bring music and musical experiences to people throughout our community.
Kurt Elling, one of the world’s foremost jazz vocalists, is celebrated for his rich baritone, remarkable improvisation, and compelling interpretations. Joined by the exceptional Ben Paterson on piano, Elling will bring his artistry to Harbor Country for an intimate and memorable performance.
By attending Wildflowers, guests not only enjoy an exceptional evening with internationally acclaimed musicians—they also directly support the School of American Music’s mission to enrich our community through music education, performance, and opportunity.
We invite your Harbor Country friends, neighbors, and visitors to join us for this important annual celebration and help ensure that music continues to thrive in our community.
