One of our city’s great divas, songwriters, and performers, San Cha is an absolutely cherished icon of LA’s contemporary arts communities. Her work is visceral, spiritually divine, and steeped in the vibrant hues of queer storytelling, power and love. Whether performing in a garden, the Ford, or at PRIDE, her performances conjure an awe-inspiring stage presence of grandiose garments and a confidence that uplifts the best in us all.
San Cha’s long-awaited opera Inebria me recently debuted at Performance Space New York, with the LA premiere coming to Redcat this fall, and to stoke our flames of enthusiasm we’re deeply honored to host one of San Cha’s very few concerts of 2025.
Join us atop Mulholland Drive at sunset for an intimate gift of a gathering as San Cha performs music for solo guitar and voice underneath a canopy oaks and California black walnut trees. A portion of this evening’s ticket sales go back towards TreePeople in support of their ongoing initiatives including habitat restoration, shade equity, and providing ecological education to students across Los Angeles.
San Cha (she/they) is a queer Latine musician and performance artist who uses ‘novela’ inspired performances to tell stories about colonization and heartbreak with the aims of liberation and healing. With influences ranging from Catholic hymns, Mexican corridos, rancheras, and cumbias to punk queer electroclash, drag, and nightlife, San Cha weaves together parts of her identity that were often severed and compartmentalized. For her, music is a personal and political vehicle to usher socio-political change and liberation.
San Cha has had projects, performances, and residencies with the Getty, LACMA, Performance Space New York, Ballroom Marfa, Hauser & Wirth, PICA’s TBA Festival, REDCAT, and many more.
