Enjoy tasty traditional British tea treats such as tarts, scones, finger sandwiches, and cakes and beverages. You will be treated from popular Gilbert and Sullivan operas, including The Mikado, Pirates of Penzance, and HMS Pinafore. This benefit concert will feature raffle prize drawings to add to the fun. Raffle prizes include a two-night stay at a mountain cabin above Donner Lake, dinner and tickets to local performing arts groups' performances, and much more. 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 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". Tickets are available only through the Bankhead Theater box office at (925) 373-6800, or online at the Bankhead Theater's web site. Epilogue: A fantastic performance of "Requiem" to a nearly packed house at the Bankhead Theater. Thank you to all our fans who came! And thanks to Las Positas Chamber Choir and SF Concert Chorale for singing with us.
Familiar folk songs like you've never heard before, all jazzed up for a rhythmic tour around the globe. No passport required!

Epilogue: This concert was well attended and a perfect ending to another season of song. Many commented on one of our most moving pieces, Nu hverfur sol, which is a piece from Iceland. The chorus processed at the end of the first half singing this piece, leaving only the solists behind. Coming Soon

We will be joined by singers from the Ohlone Chamber Singers and the San Francisco Concert Chorale for this memorial to the tragic events of September 11th, 2001. The concert will feature Arthur Honegger's Le Roi David, which was composed in 1921 as incidental music for Rene Morax's play by the same name. The work established Honegger's reputation as a composer. Two years later he added Morax's libretto to create the symphonic psalm that you will hear in our performance. The work features an orchestra and soloists as well as a narrator, who will help tell the story of King David's life. The concert will also feature Herbert Howell's Requiem, which was composed in 1936. This work will be unaccompanied. Click here to learn about ordering tickets for each concert.
This concert will feature delicious selections about food and love. One of the pieces, Marge, you make the best Pork Chops, was written by Bay Area composer Paul Crabtree. Click here to learn about ordering tickets, which will cost $20 ($25 at the door). How to get Tickets
