A generous reception featuring a diverse selection of hors d’oeuvres and competition wines is followed by an evening of fun favorites from opera, operetta, Broadway and even some improvisation. Performers include Southland’s General Director, Ann Noriel, as well as members Craig Gilmore, Lauri D. Goldenhersh, Rollin Lofdahl, Michelle Sarkesian, Diane Sawyers, Benita Scheckel, Richard Sheldon, Michael Upward and Carol Winston. The singers will be accompanied by pianist Mark Salters.
