Following the commemoration, enjoy an open-air concert featuring Jhoely Garay and her ensemble. A New York–based guitarist, composer, arranger, and educator from Mexico, Jhoely blends straight-ahead swing, contemporary jazz, and vibrant Latin American rhythms. Through her music, she amplifies stories of climate awareness and overlooked histories, creating an unforgettable evening of sound and purpose.
