Epilogue: the fundraiser was a great success. We sold around 170 tickets, far more than we had planned on. The performance went great, the audience loved the music, and we sold lots of raffle tickets. Everyone raved about the food too. A local arts critic came to review the performance and we are awaiting the review, which should appear in the Independent soon. Click here to learn about ordering tickets.

We had exceptional performances from all the soloists, with one particularly enthralling performance of "Comfort Ye" by tenor Brian Thorsett. You can see some photographs that Bill Leach took during the performance.

We will perform Mozart's powerful and moving choral masterpiece Requiem, accompanied by orchestra and professional soloists. Our last performance of the Requiem in 2002 was a great success, so we are glad to be able to give you this music again. You can hear some selections from that performance, including Requiem Aeternam and Dies Irae. This year we will be joined by the Las Positas Chamber Choir and San Francisco Concert Chorale for this Bankhead Theater "first".
