About this Event

Jazz Hands For Autism presents Reach Higher: The Legacy of Philip Bailey, the 25th installment of our landmark concert series celebrating the artistry of autistic musicians.

This is our biggest night yet. Red carpet. Live performances. A-list guests. And at the center of it all, the incredible musicians of the Jazz Hands Music Academy performing songs from the Earth, Wind & Fire catalog live on stage.

Honoring Philip Bailey — The legendary voice of Earth, Wind & Fire receives our WayMaker Award for his lasting impact on music and community. Philip joins us for an exclusive VIP fireside chat, moderated by a celebrity host, sharing stories from a career that changed the sound of American music forever.

Trailblazer Award: Janet Grillo — Award-Winning Filmmaker, autism advocate, and longtime champion of our mission, Janet will be recognized for her groundbreaking work uplifting the autism community.

The Performers — Jazz Hands musicians take the stage to perform Philip Bailey's and Earth, Wind & Fire's iconic catalog. Live, in front of the man himself. This is the kind of moment that changes lives.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of music, community, and celebration at Playa Studios in Culver City.

This performance is made possible in part by the City of Culver City and its Cultural Affairs Commission, with support from Sony Pictures Entertainment and Culver City Arts Foundation.
