Solange has just announced a benefit show in September, with proceeds set to go toward aid and relief for victims of Hurricane Harvey.

“I’m committed to partnering with organizations on the ground in Houston and making contributions to uplift the city that raised me with so much love,” she wrote in a statement on Instagram.

The show will take place on September 28 at Boston’s Orpheum Theatre, and Solange will be joined by the Sun Ra Arkestra for a performance called “Orion’s Rise.”

Solange is just the latest in a string of celebrities that have announced their efforts toward helping to raise money and relief for the victims of Hurricane Harvey.

Harvey, which was downgraded to a tropical storm just before it hit Houston, has caused devastating damage in Texas and Louisiana since making landfall. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced after Harvey dumped a historic amount of rainfall in its wake.
