On Friday, May 19th, 2023, downtown LA’s Vibiana Cathedral will be transformed into a palace of baroque splendour for an evening of sparkling entertainment, fine food and wines, and the conviviality of colleagues, family and friends.

Headlining a performance of baroque favorites will be sopranista Samuel Mariño with musicians of Camerata Pacifica.

This will be an unforgettable evening, honoring a person whose generosity has touched so many arts organizations in Los Angeles.

Please join us.

All will be in support of Camerata Pacifica, an internationally recognized chamber music group which performs at The Huntington Library, the Colburn School, and locations in Ventura and Santa Barbara. The Henrys have been major supporters of Camerata Pacifica for over a quarter of a century and they established the group’s downtown Los Angeles presence.

Please join us to make this evening a truly memorable event for Carol. You’re not opening yourself to another annual gala — this is a stand-alone celebration. Nor will you be subjected to any additional fundraising during the evening — this is a party!
