Come Bach to See Us
If you enjoy classical music, please save the date of Saturday, July 21, 2012, for a special evening with Pomona alumni at the Carmel Bach Festival. Celebrating its 75th year, the festival set in the Central California coastal town of Carmel has quite a following. We are fortunate to have Pomona connections: Betsey Hampson Pearson ’66 and Susie Saunders Brusa ’84 serve as directors, and Steve Pearson ’66 is on the Foundation Board.
Though plans are still being finalized, we anticipate receptions both before and after the concert. The performance will feature J. S. Bach’s B Minor Mass performed by the Carmel Bach Festival orchestra and chorale under Artistic Director/Conductor Paul Goodwin. Pomona College President David Oxtoby and his wife Claire will also be in attendance. When tickets become available, prices will likely be in the $75 range. If you plan to make a weekend of it, we encourage you to book your accommodations early. To receive additional information when available, please visit www.pomona.edu/alumnievents and complete the registration form. (This is not a commitment, just helpful to assure you receive information if you don’t live in the Carmel area.)
