His artistry, like the mission of our foundation, embodies the belief that creativity has the power to inspire, educate, and uplift communities.

Beyond the stage, the VIP Reception and Auction and our special art exhibition by JRenee Art, “The Circus 2,”remind us of the importance of artistic expression in telling our stories and preserving our culture.

The Auntie Karen Legends of...Master Class is a one day event in partnership with Richland County School District One and The University of South Carolina School of Music, where students from across the State have an opportunity to spend time with Grammy Award Winning Music Legends who headline the annual Auntie Karen Legends of...Concert.

In 2006, The Legends of... Master Class Series began at The University of South Carolina School of Music with Al Jarreau. Al shared his knowledge in the first Master Class with students from area middle schools, high schools and colleges. These students also attended the concert the following night. For most of the students, this was their first exposure to Al Jarreau and his music. Since then, students have had the honor of attending master classes with Patti Austin, Joe Sample, Rachelle Ferrell, Ashford & Simpson, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, Ramsey Lewis, Patti Austin, Gladys Knight, Kirk Whalum, Lalah Hathaway, Jonathan Butler, Chaka Khan, Al Jarreau again in 2016, Sheila E, Morris Day & The Time, The Isley Brothers, Peabo Bryson, Stephanie Mills, Vanessa Williams and Jeffrey Osborne, Chris Walker, Bob James, Regina Belle, Donnie McClurkin

Imagine playing the drums with Sheila E, jamming with Ernie Isley, scatting with Al Jarreau or listening to Ashford and Simpson share the inspiration behind many of their Motown hits. EXCITING!!! Well, students from rural communities and other districts across of the State of South Carolina have had those experiences and more at The Auntie Karen Foundation Annual Legends of…Concert and Master Class.

You can help bring this experience to life by sponsoring youth to participate in one or both of the Auntie Karen Legends of...Programs.

Thanks to the 2025 Sponsors
