A Magical Night to Remember!
24th Annual Fundraiser for the San Diego Chamber Orchestra
Honoring Frances Hunter
The San Diego Chamber Orchestra plans
to kick off their 25th year with their biggest annual fundraiser
event ever on Saturday, March 8, 2008, at the Hyatt La Jolla Regency,
San Diego, for a magical night to remember! With a theme of "The
Magic of Music," the black-tie evening
will honor long-time Orchestra supporter Frances Hunter, and will
include a cocktail reception, a silent auction, a performance by
the SDCO musicians, a live auction, dinner and dancing to the music
of the Nu Vision band.
Chairs Steve and Kathleen Davis and the Event Committee, consisting of Ellen
Burkhart, Elaine Darwin, Judy Ferrero, Danielle Fulton, Stephanie
Fulton, Nancy Hand, Sue Hoffmeister, Charlene Hooker, Erika Horn,
Gay Hugh-Martinez, Jennifer Kelley, Cathy Lynch, Laura Robinson
and Joanna Tsai, have lined up exciting auction items, including
an 8-day Viking cruise on the Danube River, one week at an Exclusive
Resort property, five days at a ski-in/ski-out private home in
Deer Valley, Utah, a luxury box for a Padres game, and --- VERY
SPECIAL --- a beautifully restored 1950/1960 classic car!!
Honorary Chairs are Maestro Jung-Ho Pak and Elsie Weston.
Sponsors are Charles Schwab, DJ Orthopedics, Irving Hughes and Broadcast Company
of the Americas.
The Orchestra, under the leadership of the dynamic Jung-Ho Pak, Artistic Director,
in his second year with the Orchestra, is implementing a vision
to revolutionize - and humanize - classical music. This season
has been a phenomenal success, with sold-out concerts, concertgoers
who have been "over-the-top" with their positive comments about
the extraordinary experience of each concert, and an unprecedented
connection between the Orchestra musicians and the audience.
Frances Hunter, a much-beloved member of the Orchestra's "family," has been a
major supporter of the Orchestra since 1983 and a major donor to the Orchestra's
Education Program.
Longstanding supporters of the Orchestra have been joined by dynamic young professionals
who are drawn to Jung-Ho's innovative approach to music, and all will join together
for this "Magic of Music" fundraising event!
