Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs will open its new Well‑Being concert series on Sunday, September 27, 2026, featuring Grammy‑nominated vocalist Somi. The opening performance is designed to provide restorative music for caregivers and anyone facing high emotional demands.
The concert is the first event in a series that the college has created to focus on mental and emotional health through live music. Held on the campus, the program invites audience members to experience a soothing musical environment intended to support well‑being.
Organizers describe the series as a response to the growing need for supportive spaces for those who care for others or work under intense emotional pressure. By offering performances that emphasize calm and reflection, the initiative seeks to complement existing health resources on campus and in the broader Saratoga Springs community.
Somi, who earned a Grammy nomination for her vocal work, will be the headline artist for the opening night. Known for a blend of soulful melodies and powerful delivery, her presence adds a high‑profile element to the series and aligns with its goal of delivering music that can ease stress and promote emotional balance.
The Well‑Being concert series will continue throughout the academic year, featuring a range of artists and musical styles aimed at fostering relaxation and mental health. Skidmore College hopes the program will become a regular venue for those seeking a moment of respite amid demanding personal or professional responsibilities.
