A Letter from the Director

Dear Music Lover:

Can you believe 30 years have passed since that very first RAC show? Well, it has. Thanks to all of the support of the community, media partners and other presenters, we have flourished as a destination to experience excellence in an intimate atmosphere. We couldn’t do it without you!
 
This “pearl” anniversary is very special. We’ve brought in some “pearls” ourselves, hosting an exciting array of instrumentalists this year, from Belgium to our own SF Conservatory, bringing you the best! Please mark your calendars. Please note all shows will begin at 8:00pm this year, with our opening show at the Salmon Creek Performing Arts Center (Auditorium)! All others will be at the acoustically perfect Occidental Community Church.
 
We hope to see you in September for TANGO! plus an amazing trio of performers! Look for our ad in the upcoming Bohemian Fall Arts Issue.

 

Thank you in advance
for your support.

Candace Rossman, Director
