2024-25 SEASON

“What the Dickens! A Concert of Opposites”

Sunday, November 17, 2024 at 4 pm

St. Bede’s Episcopal Church

2650 Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park

Our Fall concert is based upon the opening lines of “A Tale of Two Cities”, where Charles Dickens sets the scene with a litany of opposites: the best of times and the worst, the age of wisdom and foolishness, the spring of hope and winter of despair, and so on.

The wide variety of music includes a glorious expression of light from Handel, “They all laughed at Christopher Columbus” and other jazz standards,  a German psalm by Mendelssohn, songs from a few living composers, and even a fun treatment of a Mozart symphony.  Come experience this innovative program and let us sing for you.

We ask for $20. All proceeds will go to LifeMoves, a local charity addressing the problem of homelessness.
