2026 FA Summer Benefit Concert

Join us for a great summer night of music on Saturday, August 22 as we welcome Grammy-award winning Ruthie Foster to Falmouth Academy’s Simon Center for the Arts! This signature summer event attracts music lovers from across the Cape, Islands, and South Coast for sold-out performances by nationally recognized musicians and acclaimed artists. All proceeds support the Fund for Falmouth Academy, which provides financial aid for our students, enhances the work of our dedicated faculty, and augments FA’s athletics and arts programs.

Grammy Award-winning artist Ruthie Foster will release her new studio album, Just Say Yes , on August 28 via Sun Records. The 10-track LP is a fearless, soul-stirring statement from one of music’s most vital voices, celebrating joy, overcoming struggle, connection, and self-discovery. Produced in Nashville by Tyler Bryant and co-written alongside Bryant and Rebecca Lovell (Larkin Poe), the eclectic album, which spans soul, roots, and blues, finds Ruthie fully embracing the word YES, and living life in all its complexity. Navigating her life experiences as they come, Foster sees both obstacles and opportunities as catalysts for growth, transformation, and forward motion.
