The Schedule

See here.

Lobby Volunteers STILL Needed

Valerie Sarfaty, who usually runs lobby operations, will not be available for the upcoming concert. We need family members or friends to help out.

Who should you tell? Good question! We still don't have a lobby manager, which indicates how desperately we need your help!

Concert CDs

CDs from the Mikado, Summer, and September concerts are now available. You can order one from the "backstage" area of our web site.

Also, we expect to obtain CDs from last season's Schola Cantorum concert soon. [Ed.note: I've heard this CD, and we sound great!]
