COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS
Ballet: Sonoma Conservatory of Dance (formerly Sonoma Ballet Conservatory) will soon offer their annual performance of The Snow Maiden, a Russian fairy tale of love and magic. The show will be held at the Sebastiani Theater the weekend of December 8th and 9th, 2012 at 1pm. This is a wonderful opportunity to give your children exposure to a classical and modern style of ballet dance, and will feature dancers 6 years old and up.
Concert: Asante Children's Choir from East Africa is scheduled to perform at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church at 16290 Arnold Drive at 7:00 PM on Saturday, December 1st. The Choir will perform traditional African and American worship music, as well as African Folk Songs, drum music and vibrant dance. The choir is made up of 20 children from Burundi and 4 children from Rwanda, ages 7-15 years old. They are on tour of the West Coast to raise support for children back home and to raise awareness of the desperate needs of children in Africa. Many of the children in the Choir are orphans or have parents who are unable to care for them. In spite of the severe hardships most of them have faced, they inspire people with their bright smiles and the joy of their hope. Many describe their performances as extraordinarily moving and even life changing. The concert is free and open to all.
Open House: San Domenico, the day and Monday-Friday boarding all-girls boarding school in San Anselmo, is having an Open House on Sunday, December 2 at 11am. To attend, rsvp to admissions@sandomenico.org.
