Encanto Arts and the Wenatchee Valley College Foundation are set to present “Una Noche de Encanto” Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the Wenatchee Valley College Music and Art Center (MAC), 1500 Fifth St., Wenatchee. The event will bring award-winning tenor José Iñiguez and acclaimed baritone José Rubio for a night of opera arias and boleros.

“I am truly excited to return to the Wenatchee stage with Encanto Arts,” said Rubio. “Collaborating with Encanto allows me to connect with music that reminds me of my roots in Chihuahua, Mexico. Performing these opera arias and boleros is a way of honoring my heritage and sharing it with a community that values cultural expression.”

A special experience will be offered to guests who purchase VIP tickets, including a post-concert cocktail party with food and a live performance by Mariachi Huenachi, offering the chance to mingle with the artists and enjoy an extra touch of Mexican musical tradition.

 “Working with an artist of José Rubio’s caliber is truly a dream come true,” said Iñiguez. “He combines extraordinary talent with deep intelligence, and that elevates everything we perform together. Our shared vision is to inspire through music, while opening doors for the next generation of artists.”

Una Noche de Encanto is part of Encanto Arts’ ongoing mission to ensure that students pursuing arts education can have their tuition fully funded. Proceeds from the event will go toward supporting young artists in their academic journeys. All proceeds from the concert will benefit the Iñiguez Family Endowment Scholarship Powered by Encanto Arts.
