This May, the Drakensberg Boys Choir from South Africa will perform with the Pacific Boychoir for the fist time in North America. Come hear two of the world's best boys choirs on the same stage, performing separately and together in a concert that features works by Mozart and Handel, and of course the Drakkies' famous South African music. 
On May 22nd, the world famous a cappella group, the House Jacks, will be performing a benefit concert for the Pacific Boychoir Academy. The concert will feature the PBA's very own Continuum choir singing Radiohead, the Beatles and more! Join us at the Pacific Boychoir Academy's headquarters for an afternoon of a cappella. Seating is VERY limited, so get your tickets now.
The six choirs of the PBA perform spirituals and folk and classical favorites for families and friends. This is the 13th Annual Spring Serenade concert! Come hear singers from age 5-18, for the youngest it may their first, and for the oldest it may be their last before heading to college.
Join us to support the PBA Community Scholarship Fund! Don't miss the opportunity to bid on fantastic items, enjoy delicious food and mingle with other music lovers. Taking place in one of Oakland's most unique venues, the evening promises to be full of excitement, music and fun.

November 3, 4, 5, and 8, 2010
Carmina Burana with SF Symphony
Carl Orff’s famed cantata Carmina Burana occupies a vastly different realm: its erotic energy and sheer visceral power have installed it among Western music’s most iconic works. Alfred Schnittke’s whimsical Moz-Art à la Haydn, a clever nod to the preeminent voices of the Classical period, prefaces music by the father of the Classical style himself. Haydn’s Symphony No. 97, one of the composer’s beloved “London” Symphonies, illustrates his characteristic elegance and charm.
Carlos Kalmar will conduct at the Nov 3-5 performances, and San Francisco Symphony Assistant Conductor Donato Cabrera will conduct Nov 8.
Inside Music, an informative talk free to ticketholders, begins one hour prior to concerts.
When: Wednesday, November 3, 2010, 8pm
