Performance at 7:00 pm Gala at 8:30 pm

On January 28, 2026, OSA will host "A Starlit Night," a concert and gala featuring internationally celebrated mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, accompanied by her longtime collaborator, John Arida, on piano, and a string quartet from The Orchestra San Antonio. Ms. Leonard was in San Antonio as the featured speaker for the McNay Art Museum in September 2024. She was an exceptionally charismatic speaker, and her singing was stirring, even bringing some of the attendees to tears. Because of that engagement, she now has a following in San Antonio. Her return is anticipated to be a major draw for both longtime fans and new audiences. This elegant evening at The Tobin Center will be the first time we present an artist of Ms. Leonard’s caliber for a winter gala. Her luminous artistry and magnetic stage presence promise to make this event a highlight of San Antonio’s cultural season, inspiring both gala patrons and general audiences alike.
