On January 28, 2026, OSA will host "A Starlit Night," a concert and gala with internationally celebrated mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, accompanied by her longtime collaborator John Arida on piano and a string quartet from Classical Music Institute. Ms. Leonard was in San Antonio as the featured speaker for the McNay Art Museum in September of 2024. 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 OSA presents an artist of Ms. Leonard’s caliber for a public concert. 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.
This production is presented in collaboration with The Orchestra San Antonio.
