San Diegans: two music events of note (pun not intended) on June 1st/2nd
Attention all San Diegan readers: the weekend of June 1st and 2nd features not one, but two different musical events in which I am involved to various degrees, and to which I heartily hope you come as they're both really wicked pissah (as folks say back in Bahston where I spent many happy formative years):
June 1st: Bob Tedde and the rest of the wacky dudes that make up Rockola are at it again with another full-length live performance of a Beatles album with student orchestra and everything. This time it's a 40th anniversary performance of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band," with a second set of other orchestral rock favorites, performed in the august setting of Spreckels Theater. The last time Rockola did up Sgt. Pepper, for the 35th anniversary of its release, it was a killer show, so be sure to check it out. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster; follow this link to get there. (And look for me in the crowd, and perhaps a few other behind-scenes places as well...)
June 2nd: The San Diego Women's Chorus, of which I am a proud member, will be performing a gala show entitled "'Cause They Were Here: 20 Years of Harmony," to celebrate their existence for a full two decades. (And let me tell ya, two decades for a non-profit volunteer queer-affiliated community chorus is something to celebrate!) Even better, they're performing at my church, First UU Church of San Diego. The show will be preceded by a fundraiser auction/opportunity drawing with lots of cool goodies on offer, including a cruise donated by Olivia Cruises! Tickets are available through this link. Come hear me max out with the 1st Alto section!
