Spread the Music Benefit Concert 2026
Music has the power not only to inspire—it also has the power to change lives.
The annual Spread the Music Benefit Concert 2026 will be held on Saturday, August 15, 2026, bringing together outstanding young musicians from across the Greater Houston area for an evening of inspiring performances in support of a meaningful cause.
Founded in 2015, the Spread the Music Association (SMA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the mission:
"Spread the Love. Spread the Music."
Its members range from elementary through high school students and represent a wide variety of musical disciplines, including piano, strings, winds, percussion, voice, guitar, and multicultural music.
All proceeds from this year's concert will once again benefit the Girl Up initiative of the United Nations Foundation, supporting girls around the world through education, health, safety, and leadership development.
Over the past nine years, SMA has presented nine annual benefit concerts, raising more than $50,000 for charitable causes. Every participating student not only shares their musical talents but also demonstrates the values of service, compassion, and community leadership through music.
Join us on August 15 as we celebrate the power of music to bring hope, inspire generosity, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
