Curated
by Grammy Award-winning producer John Lee, Jazz in the Loft features
award-winning artists from and beyond the greater SOMA area who are
master improvisers and consummate band leaders. Blues, Bebop, Bossa — as
long as it’s swinging, you’ll hear it at SOPAC! This Jazz
in the Loft performance presents the Nat
Adderley, Jr. Quartet.

SOPAC
welcomes the Mainstage debut of Grammy-nominated, multi-lingual
vocalist, composer, actor, and playwright SOMI.
Her virtuosity, crystalline lyricism, and abiding song interpretation
prompt frequent collaborations with internationally acclaimed artists,
but her expanding presence as a leader continues to receive peer
recognition and critical praise. Experience SOMI’s depth and the layers
of her artistry live at SOPAC!

SOPAC
curator Mike Griot brings his
storied programming to the Mainstage to present the Winter Edition of
SOPAC’s 2nd Annual South Orange International Blues Festival: “Women
of the Blues” featuring 2025 Grammy-nominated artist Sue
Foley, Alexis P. Suter, and Rae
Simone. Whether you’re seeking new music from
contemporary artists to elevate your record collection or playlist; a
range of live performances that share personal stories and deep-pocket
shuffles; or a down-home warm-up away from the winter chill, this
festival is for you.

SOPAC
welcomes the return of an icon: two-time Grammy Award-winning singer
and master song interpreter Lisa Fischer brings her
critically acclaimed trio Grand Baton back to the
Mainstage! Praised by The New York Times as “a singer
of truly prodigious range and delicacy,” and featured in the Academy
Award-winning documentary 20 Feet from Stardom, Fischer
transcends genre, bonding a range of styles from Prog Rock and
Psychedelic Soul to African, Middle Eastern & Caribbean rhythms to
European Classical influences.
