About this Event

Join Usolec Company and founder Dawn Hightree for Nature’s Opera, a community fundraiser supporting the SOU Student Creative Arts Competition — an initiative inviting Southern Oregon University students to create original works inspired by climate awareness, environmental stewardship, and our shared future.

The evening begins at 6:30 PM with doors opening and a silent auction featuring local art and community contributions. At 7:00 PM, Dawn Hightree welcomes guests and performs selections from her original work Nature’s Opera, followed by a student concert set featuring The Cleopatras.

Guests are invited to enjoy live music, creative expression, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere celebrating Ashland’s vibrant arts community. Food will be available, with wine offered for purchase. Auction winners will be announced at 9:00 PM, followed by an optional jam session with Twitch.

Suggested donation: $1 and up (everyone welcome).
Proceeds benefit prizes for SOU students participating in the Creative Arts Competition.
