3 pm on Sunday, November 2nd will be the start of an afternoon of enchantment, temptation, and general treachery, that is, as long as you join us for Bewitched, a fundraising concert at MPC featuring music from a wide spectrum of musical genres. Patrice Kirkish and Anne Daniel will be sharing selections from the operas Carmen by Bizet, The Magic Flute by Mozart, Norma by Bellini, Jeanne d’Arc by Tchaikovsky, and Midsummer Night’s Dream by Britten. You also will be treated to a delightful art song duet by Brahms. Our own Talitha Aho will present an old Irish poem in a traditional English ballad setting, while guest artists from the Pacific Boychoir Academy coached by our organist, Marcia Roy will sing some old standards and a few choral pieces. Marcia and Kim Rankin will provide beautiful accompaniment and the program will be hosted by Bud Sisson, adding his lovely speaking voice as he sets the scene for each song. And be on the lookout for more MPCers, masquerading as fairies, princes, sprites, and the like.
After the concert, the fun will continue with a reception in the family room featuring sparkling, white and red wines and a magical fountain of chocolate!
All monies collected through attendees’ generous donations will benefit MPC—so please invite your friends and family. Suggested donation of $20 for the concert, plus an additional $5 if you’d like to join us for a glass of wine or two.
