Welcome to our 25th Season, our Silver Anniversary!  What a major milestone!  How fine that we are here to celebrate together.  Many of you have been sharing these events with us for all, or some part, of those 25 years.  For those of you who are new, you are in for a real treat.  Willy Sucre has invited his musical friends La Catrina String Quartet, the Figueroas, and more.  Our Music Program committee has selected four additional concerts to complement Willy's five concerts.  It will be a season you'll remember for years to come. 

To touch on some of the highlights, John Bullock, our composer in residence has written an overture for the occasion -- “Silver Anniversary Overture or Pomp and Circumstances Beyond My Control”, he calls it. You’ll hear it in January. Mark Kaplan is back to give us another fantastic performance as the Kaplan and Weiss violin and piano duo. You recall he saved the day last season when Yakov Kasman was unable to be here due to a death in the family. Delightfully, Yakov will also be here this April, something we’re all looking forward to.

This 25th anniversary also brings with it another season of fantastic art exhibits drawn from a selection of painters, potters, photographers, fiber artists, pastel artists, mosaic and stained glass artists, jewelers, glass makers and more. And in March, we'll be hosting a special exhibit of the photographic works of our beloved David Cramer.  All proceeds from the sale of David's works will be donated to PAS.

 

Planning the celebration of the 25th Season of a community group such as ours, in our unique circumstances and setting, gave us pause to reflect on what that really means. For one thing, it means we are organized and devoted to our cause. It means you've supported and loved what we did. We want that to continue for many years, far into the future. To ensure the legacy of PAS continues, we have recently established an endowment fund.   We'll be announcing more about this fund in the very near future, and how you can contribute to the fund.

 

We hope you'll take a few moments to visit our concert and visual arts pages to introduce yourself to this spectacular season.  Then purchase individual, season, or 25th anniversary only half-season tickets.  Join us and prepare to be transported with us into our next 25 years!
