The Tobin Center's Annual Benefit Concert

The Tobin Center Presents the 2026 Stars Over Texas Benefit Concert

Saddle up and join us on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts for the Stars Over Texas Benefit Concert, supporting our Generation NEXT Education Initiative and Community Engagement Programs. This year, we are proud to present The Tobin Award to one of our most cherished champions, Susan Naylor, honoring her extraordinary impact with an evening that reflects the spirit of Texas, heartfelt, vibrant, and full of soul. The night will feature an Oscar and Grammy-winning artist whose sound blends country grit, blues, and masterful storytelling. While we are keeping the name under wraps for now, we can promise a performance that captures the energy and authenticity of the Lone Star State.

The celebration continues beyond the stage with our Hill Country Honky Tonk After Party, a high-energy close to an already unforgettable evening. From a lively cocktail hour to an elegant seated dinner in the H-E-B Performance Hall, this signature event brings together community leaders and arts advocates for a night that is as meaningful as it is memorable. Your support helps us reach more than 20,000 students and educators each year and expands access through programs that welcome all into the arts. We invite you to be part of this extraordinary night and secure your sponsorship early as we prepare to make an even greater impact together.
