Carnival Cruise Lines, Sixthman and VH1 recently partnered to present “One Splendid Evening,” a special concert event to benefit VH1’s Save The Music Foundation.

The event took place on March 26, 2009, with proceeds going toward restoring instrumental music education in America’s public schools and raising awareness about the importance of music as part of children’s education.

“One Splendid Evening” was held on board the 3,006-passenger Carnival Splendor, the line’s newest and largest ship, while the vessel was docked in Los Angeles.

The evening included captivating performances by Grammy Award winner John Mayer, as well as Jordin Sparks, Gavin Rossdale, Sara Bareilles, O.A.R., Guster, Erin McCarley and DJ Logic.
