The South Orange Performing Arts Center (SOPAC) welcomes the United States Military Veteran All-Stars on Tuesday, November 12 at 7:30PM as part of Seton Hall University’s Jazz ’n the Hall Concert Series on the SOPAC Mainstage. Presented in partnership with the Seton Hall University Arts Council, this event includes a lively program of beloved standards and patriotic tunes in tribute to U.S. veterans of every generation, through every era of combat.
“Each season, we look forward to celebrating the brave contributions of our veterans through music and live performance,” says Seton Hall Director of Production & Facilities Chris Aurilio. “The program provides a glimpse into the astonishing level of talent among these service-driven artists.”
“We’re grateful to welcome these veterans — and artists — and to honor the tireless work of our military personnel,” says SOPAC Executive Director Lana Rogachevskaya. “On a personal note, I believe paying tribute to our heroes through music, particularly through live music, is the most heartfelt way we can celebrate such fearless acts of service.”
Patrons in attendance have the opportunity to meet military service members as they enjoy an evening of energizing arrangements and blistering solos, celebrate their heroes, and share in the honor, joy, and gratitude at SOPAC. SOPAC encourages patrons to reserve tickets in advance for $5 plus fees.

Each season, SOPAC and Seton Hall renew their commitment to accessibility for arts programming in the SOMA community. Tickets to all SHU performances are free and open to the public: advance tickets include a $5 processing fee per ticket; day-of-show tickets have no processing fee and depend on availability. The box office opens 2 hours before curtain. As certain shows tend to sell out quickly, SOPAC encourages patrons to reserve tickets in advance.
