Press Room

The choir "flourishes in the incomparable sound of many voices unified in tone and spirit, blooming in the radiant phrases of Brahms, soaring on warmth of feeling, perfectly tendered... In pitch, blend, range, balance and variety of sonority, this choral instrument is excellent."...Robert Commanday,  San Francisco Chronicle

"Utterly English" on April 12-13

Mark your calendar for SFBACC's next performances on April 12-13, 2008!

Under the direction of director Dr. David Stein, we will be performing a variety of sacred and secular works by several 20th Century English composers, including Herbert Howells, Benjamin Britten, Charles Villiers Stanford, Gerald Finzi, and John Rutter. 

On Saturday, April 12, we will sing at the First Presbyterian Church of Alameda at 7PM as part of the church's wonderful ongoing  "Music at First Pres" concert series.

The following evening, Sunday, April 13, we'll be performing once again at the lovely historic Old Mission San Jose in Fremont  at 7PM.

Summer 2006 France Tour

The choir traveled to France in June 2006 for the latest in our long series of overseas tours.  Between our arrival in Nice and our departure 2-1/2 weeks later from Paris, we performed 11 concerts while enjoying sightseeing and meeting many new friends.  

This was the choir's 11th overseas tour since SFBACC traveled to Lucerne, Switzerland to participate in the 1979 Europa Cantat festival.   

In addition to our visits to other countries over the past 28 years, the choir has also hosted several European choirs here in the Bay Area -- most recently the Nicolai Chamber Choir from Stockholm, Sweden; the Westphalian Chamber Choir from Münster, Germany; the Malmö Chamber Choir from Malmö, Sweden; the Charles University Choir from Prague; and the Camerata Vocale Hannover.
