The Valley Concert Chorale will present An Afternoon with Gilbert and Sullivan on Sunday, November 8, at 3 pm, in the Fellowship Hall of the First Presbyterian Church in Livermore. The church is located at 4th and L streets.

This event, featuring a performance by the Valley Concert Chorale of choral arrangements from well-known Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, is the chorale's major fundraiser for the 2009-2010 season. Featured operettas included HMS Pinafore, Pirates of Penzance, Mikado, Iolanthe, Yeoman of the Guard, Ruddigore, and Princess Ida.

Guests will enjoy traditional British tea treats such as tarts, scones, finger sandwiches, and cakes and beverages, as well as have an opportunity to win raffle prizes.

"This event is a fundraiser to help keep our fine chorus running," says Bill Leach, VCC's Board Vice President. "With the lively and humorous music of Gilbert and Sullivan combined with our raffle for great prizes, it promises to be a fun afternoon." Raffle prizes include a two-night stay at a mountain cabin above Lake Donner, dinner and tickets to local performing arts groups' performances and much more.

Seating is limited so advance ticket purchase is highly advised. Call (925) 866-4003 to order.
