SFBACC was founded in 1978 and sings under the direction of Ofer dal Lal, who was named the choir’s Music Director in June 2017. Since its origin, the choir has been highly acclaimed for its sensitive and exciting performances of extremely varied and demanding literature.

The San Francisco Bay Area Chamber Choir, we would like to personally invite you to the choir’s 40th Anniversary Gala Celebration, to be held on Saturday, November 17th, 2018.

All three of our former Artistic Directors (Harry Carter, David Stein, and Tony Pasqua) will join with our current Artistic Director, Ofer dal Lal, to conduct the choir in a program that will be sure to conjure joyous memories and illuminate our ongoing path of artistic excellence. Then, we’ll gather for a reception, where we can re-connect, share stories, and enjoy lovely desserts, tea, coffee and wine/champagne.

The performance will include pieces from the past and future of the choir by composers William Byrd, Robert Lucas de Pearsall, Claudio Monteverdi, Morten Lauridsen, Veljo Tormis, Heinrich Schütz, Vaughan Williams, Anton Bruckner and others.
