On Saturday, September 20 at 7:30 p.m., internationally acclaimed jazz vocalist and peace advocate Sacha Boutros will debut "Paris After Dark" at the Baker-Baum Concert Hall, The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center. The concert launches the new "Music Without Borders" series with an evening that celebrates 100 years of French and American music. Audiences will be transported from La Jolla to the heart of Paris through a repertoire spanning jazz, chanson, and international pop, from Cole Porter to Serge Gainsbourg. Boutros will be joined by Parisian trumpet legend Stéphane Belmondo and an ensemble of world-class musicians for this special CD release concert. “This concert is a love letter to Paris and to humanity,” says Boutros. “In a time when the world feels divided, music reminds us we share a common language, one that heals and unites.” Through her nonprofit, Sacha’s Supper Club, Boutros turns concerts like "Paris After Dark" into fundraisers that directly support music education in Barrio Logan, San Ysidro, and Tijuana. This mission reflects a family legacy of cultural service, inspired by her grandmother Lupe Cázares, founder of San Ysidro Health Centers. Continuing that tradition, Boutros also works on cross-border art projects such as "A Place Where Soles Meet," a unity mural at the San Ysidro border. Sacha Boutros on Facebook / Instagram
