There are voices you remember.
And then there are voices that never leave you.
In 2026, fans around the world will gather to honor the timeless legacy of Karen Carpenter, the gentle soul whose voice defined an era and still echoes across generations.
More than four decades after her passing, her music continues to comfort broken hearts, soften quiet nights, and remind us that vulnerability can be strength. From “Close to You” to “Rainy Days and Mondays,” the songs she brought to life remain woven into the fabric of American music history.

In 2026, the stage lights will rise once more in her honor.
And as the first notes begin to play, one truth will be undeniable:
Karen Carpenter may have left the stage.
But the music — and the magic — lives on.
