'Cause They Were Here June 2, 2007

The San Diego Women's Chorus is proud to announce the first concert of its 20th Anniversary Season entitled “’Cause They Were Here: 20 Years of Harmony.” This one-night-only special event will take place inside the beautiful First Unitarian Universalist Church, located at 4190 Front Street in Hillcrest, on Saturday, June 2, 2007.

This gala evening will celebrate SDWC’s twenty years of making beautiful music with songs, stories, fun, prizes, and plenty of surprises as well. The concert will feature a retrospective of women's music including songs written and made famous by Carole King, Indigo Girls, Holly Near, Margie Adam, Joan Baez, the Dixie Chicks, and more. Audience members will be tempted to sing along to such crowd-pleasing numbers as “Closer to Fine,” “I Feel the Earth Move,” “I Hope,” and “Sweet Friend of Mine.”

A fantastic auction of items from all around San Diego and beyond will begin the evening’s festivities at 6:30 p.m. sharp, so be sure to arrive early. The live auction will feature other fabulous items, including a one-week stay for two at the beautiful Rancho La Puerta in Tecate, Mexico. An opportunity drawing will offer chances at an amazing cruise for two along the Mexican Riviera, donated by Olivia Cruises and Resorts.

Whether you're a long-time supporter of the San Diego Women's Chorus, a lover of beautiful music who appreciates the rich history of this amazing group, or just someone looking for a good time on a Saturday night, this concert promises something special!

Tickets are available now for $15 each, with discounts available for seniors, students, and military. Special prices are also available for groups. This history-making SDWC concert is being generously co-sponsored by Rainbow Action, the LGBT and allies affinity group at the First Unitarian Universalist Church.
