The San Diego Center for Children’s 132nd Anniversary Celebration, Cherishing the Joys of Childhood, will support the center’s programs that provide services to children, teens, and families struggling with mental, emotional, and behavioral health challenges. This special night under the stars will feature a concert by internationally renowned pianist and composer Matt Savage, a savant on the autism spectrum who started his career as a child prodigy. Additionally, guests will enjoy an inspiring performance by the Center’s Children’s Choir, witnessing firsthand how services like music therapy help youth to cherish the joys of childhood. The power of expression and music will be woven throughout the night with a special recognition to longtime music director Sundiata Kata, who is celebrating his 50th year of impact at the Center. Honorary chairs are Linda and Mel Katz. centerforchildren.org/celebration
