Rainbow City Arts Is Ready To Take…ACTION!

Rainbow City Arts, the parent non-profit organization behind so many terrific area instrumental music performance groups like Rainbow City Orchestra and Rainbow City Band, is getting ready to wrap up their big 2024/25 season with their final concert. It all started with “Lights” last fall, then we had “Camera” in the spring and for June Pride Month in Seattle, they’re preparing to take….ACTION!

“Action” will take the stage at Benaroya Hall on Friday, June 6th with performances from Rainbow City’s concert band and orchestra onstage, and jazz band in the lobby during intermission. There’ll also be vocal performers joining with the instrumental as STANCE, the Seattle Trans and Nonbinary Choir will join in as well as soloist Ryan Cassata. There’s also a silent auction to bid on.

More info and tickets HERE!

Life isn’t always easy, especially when you face injustice and fight to be heard. But on June 6, 2025, at Benaroya Hall, you’ll find a space that turns those challenges into strength, unity, and celebration. Action! isn’t just a concert; it’s your night to reflect, connect, and feel empowered.

The evening will take you on a powerful journey through music performed by Rainbow City’s concert band and orchestra. You’ll hear stirring melodies that honor our struggles and bold harmonies that celebrate resilience. Special performances by STANCE, a group of trans and nonbinary voices, and Ryan Cassata, a queer singer-songwriter and activist, will speak directly to your heart and leave you inspired.

At intermission, the grand lobby becomes a place for connection and joy. With dynamic tunes from the Rainbow City Jazz Band, a silent auction waiting for your bids, fun games, and a cash bar to enjoy, you’ll feel the energy of Pride Month and the warmth of community all around you.

This night is more than a performance. It’s your chance to channel joy into resolve, remind yourself of the power in our voices, and celebrate how far we’ve come together.

You belong here. Don’t miss Action! on Friday, June 6. Bring your pride, your passion, and your voice as we take a stand together through music and solidarity. Tickets are available now—we can’t wait to see you there!
