SFV Male Chorus Concert on May 31  
Music Note 

Join us at SOV for the San Fernando Male Chorus concert on Saturday, May 31 at 7:30 p.m. Come hear Ralph Mauriello and Carl Smith sing in a show called "Songs We Love to Sing."

 

The show will feature a wide variety of songs from different musical genres. The musical styles presented range from "The Anvil Chorus" from the opera Il Trovatore to the rousing Country Western classic, "The Wabash Cannonball." A highlight of the show will be an arrangement of "The Impossible Dream," created especially for the chorus by SOV's own Tommy Morgan. Yeah, that guy who plays the harmonica. 

 

Ralph's solo is the Frank Sinatra hit "My Way," and he will be in a quartet along with Carl Smith doing a comedy number originally sung by John Denver, "Grandma's Feather Bed."

 

The Chorus was organized in 1957 for the purpose of promoting male harmony. The chorus is a non-profit corporation, with no political or religious affiliations,  just members from all walks of life with one common bond ... a love of music.

 

Tickets are $18 and when you buy tickets from Ralph, 100 percent of the proceeds go to SOV!

El Camino Pines Camp
Take A Hike  

SOV students and friends who are planning to go to summer camp at El Camino Pines are encouraged to register for Arts and Music camp during the week of July 27 through August 1. This week is open to students currently in 1st through 7th grades.

 

This is not an official SOV event, just a selected session for SOV families to send their kids to camp together. Carpools can be arranged with other families. Please let the office know if you register your child for that week so we know who is going.
