San Francisco Girls Chorus Gala Benefit and Concert
The five-time Grammy Award-winning San Francisco Girls Chorus will
celebrate its 2010 season with a concert and black-tie gala Friday, March
26, at Herbst Theatre. Entitled "Americans in Paris," the benefit features
guest jazz artists The Hot Club of San Francisco and music made in and
inspired by the famed French City of Light from the 19th century to the
present. In addition to the concert, conducted by Artistic Director Susan
McMane, the event will feature cocktails, dinner and live auction.
Proceeds will support the San Francisco Girls Chorus scholarship fund. The
evening begins at 5:30 p.m. with cocktails followed by a jazz age-infused
concert by the San Francisco Girls Chorus and The Hot Club including music
by Faure, Stravinsky, Copland, Vernon Duke, Cole Porter, George Gershwin,
Django Reinhardt, Duke Ellington and David Conte.
Celebrating more than 30 years of extraordinary music with its 2009-2010
season, the San Francisco Girls Chorus is recognized as one of the world's
most respected vocal ensembles. This high caliber of music making was most
recently recognized with two 2010 Grammy Awards-Best Classical Performance
and Best Choral Performance--with the San Francisco Symphony and Maestro
Michael Tilson Thomas for Mahler's Symphony No. 8. The San Francisco Girls
Chorus' level of training, performance, quality, range, passion and
leadership in commissioning music for treble voices are lauded by
musicians, critics and audiences. In 2009 the Chorus was invited to
perform for the inauguration of President Barack Obama in Washington DC,
and the same year made its New York debut at Lincoln Center to acclaim.
