32nd Season Gala
On a warm fall night October 14th, Co-chairs Tom Beischer and Ellen Bermingham welcomed friends of San Francisco Performances to the exquisite Art Deco style City Club of San Francisco for the annual gala fundraiser. The event was a wonderful success, raising more than $150,000 for SF Performances' award-winning education programs.
The evening began with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in the Café. Guests then moved upstairs to the Dining Room for the remainder of the evening. Guitar students from Westlake Middle School performed a piece led by their Guitar Mentor Michael Roberts.
A live auction and Fund-a-Need followed a speech made by Michael Roberts, who spoke eloquently on how his mentorship has benefited not only the students but himself as well. Inspired by his words, guests raised their paddles for what has been the most successful Fund-a-Need Drive yet.
The evening concluded with a performance by soprano Leah Crocetto and pianist Tamara Sanikidze that included a selection of arias, art songs and musical theater pieces.
SF Performances extends a heartfelt thanks to the corporate and inkind sponsors who helped make the event possible:
