Valentine’s Day Performance of Songs of Love to Benefit San Marcos High’s Madrigal Choir

At 2:00 pm on Saturday, February 9, the San Marcos High School Madrigal Choir will perform at a fundraiser. Love songs of Brahm’s Liebeslieder Waltzes will be performed by Marilyn Gilbert, Nathan Rundlett, Vivian Vega-Rangel, and Dr. Grey Brothers. The performance will take place at the Santa Barbara Masonic Lodge No. 192, located at 16 E. Carrillo Street (between Anacapa and State streets).

The funds will support the travel costs of the 26-student Madrigal Choir, who will be performing at New York’s prestigious Carnegie Hall. The Madrigals are one of only four (from 71 applicants) of the nation’s high school choirs to join in a performance of Brahm’s Requiem at Carnegie Hall. The Requiem will be conducted by Dr. Craig Jessop, director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Tickets are $25, payable to SMHS Performing Arts Affiliates. Contact Marilyn Gilbert, 969-7183.
