Rhapsody in Blue is a virtual concert that serves as a fundraiser for the university and a salute to healthcare workers. Saint Augustine’s University has a legacy in training healthcare professionals and providing healthcare services through Saint Agnes Hospital. Though Saint Agnes is no longer functional, SAU would like to acknowledge those who pursued roles in healthcare, especially our alumni.

*This concert is free. We hope that you will give a donation prior to or during the program.
