The good news, however, is that the choir has an amazing event in the works, which will hopefully meet the challenge and allow the SCC to engage wholly in next year's fantastic season, which starts in the fall!
This fundraiser is being held on May 9, 2009, at the Bellevue Hyatt Regency. The theme of this year's event is "Mambo Italiano" and the show will include such Italian-American classics as Volare, Eh Cumpari, Bouna Sera, That's Amore, and of course, Mambo Italiano itself. Members of the choir will be performing in both ensemble and smaller groupings, complete with costumes and staging. If you're not careful, you may be dragged into the performance! In addition, a fantastic live jazz combo will accompany the singers as well as perform their own set. Then of course comes the amazing food and of course, desserts; Chianti steak with artichoke risotto and broccolini as well as a vegetarian entree of ratatouille stuffed zucchini canoes with marinara sauce. Yum!
To my mind, the dinner and performance is worth the price of admission itself, but then you have the auction as well!
The fantastic list of items in the auction run the gamut - from coupons to local businesses to a stocked wine cellar to jewelry and art to various services and week-long vacations all around the country. For the record, click here for more information about the auction, what's available, how you can contribute, and registration to attend. It's a fantastic social event with well over a hundred attendees from all around the region - a can't miss event!
Hope to see you there!
