Renegade Orchestra
2025-04-05 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Renegade Orchestra – The Beauty of a Symphony, the Soul of a Rock Band Welcome to the Renegade Orchestra – it’s time to throw out all the old conventions of a quiet, sleepy, stuffy show of musicians locked in straight jackets of tradition.Clap your hands, tap your feet, and yell all you want – the Renegade Orchestra embraces the virtuosic skills of top bay area musicians and turns them loose on songs orchestras have never or maybe shouldn’t do. No sleepy pop songs, no overly-lush jazz standards, but the pure unbridled fury of what an orchestra can truly do.

Merging Music and Humanity for Global Healing with Seth Walker
2025-04-06 19:00 - 22:00
“Often cited as one of the most prolific contemporary Americana artists on the scene today, Seth Walker is a multi-dimensional talent who combines a gift for melody and lyric alongside a rich, Gospel-drenched, Southern-inflected voice with a true blue knack for getting around on the guitar.” In 2021, Global Healing sold out a benefit concert with Seth to support the work being done in Roatán, Honduras, and we’re bringing the magic back again—grab your tickets for a night at the historic Polly Klaas Theater you won’t want to miss! Discover more about Seth Walker here.
Proceeds from this concert will directly support Global Healing’s ongoing efforts in Roatán, Honduras, specifically aiding fire recovery and providing the assistance needed to facilitate the hospital’s continued services. Last year on April 20th, a shocking fire ravaged the sole public hospital on Roatán. Home to Global Healing’s pediatric clinic for the past two decades, the hospital was vital for emergency care for both children and adults, performing urgent surgeries, and providing maternity services, like life-saving C-sections. Reduced to ashes, the hospital and clinic left Honduras with even fewer means to deliver essential medical care. All medical equipment was lost.
Dr. Eric Scher traveled to Roatán several times, helping set up a provisional hospital in a large, former Adventist church and delivering our donated and purchased medical equipment and supplies—made possible by generous supporters and benefit concert attendees like you.
On April 6th, come for the music (and Barb’s famous homemade whoopie pies), stay for the impact! Your ticket not only supports an unforgettable night of live music but also contributes directly to saving lives and helping the community of Roatán heal.
A special silent auction will be presented during the benefit. If you or loved ones are interested in supporting our benefit concerts through volunteering or donatingauction items for fundraising, please contact Dr. Eric Scher at eric@globalhealing.org or (415)846-9160.

West Side Stories – Ambition
2025-04-09 19:30 - 21:30
Every month there is a theme, hopefully that sparks a memory for you. You put your name in a hat (an actual hat!) and 10 people’s names are drawn at random. When your name is pulled you get 5 minutes to tell your personal true story. At the end of the evening everyone votes by text for their favorite story of the night. If that’s you, you get $50 and will join the other monthly winners in December for our GrandSlam at the Historic Mystic Theater. Sounds like fun, right?

Winged Wonders
2025-04-11
This spring, a fantastical flock of giant bamboo birds lands at the Garden to enchant both the young and young at heart! Marvel at the majestic 20-foot wingspan of an Acorn Woodpecker in flight amongst the Garden’s oak trees; take photos with a friendly 10-foot-tall Western Bluebird; and delight in encounters with larger-than-life owls, quail, and more in every corner of the Garden.
The colossal sculptures up to 20 feet tall are made entirely from natural materials by Boston-based artist duo Donna Dodson and Andy Moerlein to highlight the beauty and diversity of California’s native birds and the ecosystems that support them. The bamboo sculptures all reflect the species that make their home in the grasslands, forests, and vineyards of the Garden.
