MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (April 5,
2012) — No one throws a party like the Queen, and VocalEssence
invited her to join them for their Spring Gala, BRIT
BASH. While sipping
your Pimm’s Cup, you will stroll through our British Isles Silent
Auction, rub shoulders with Sir Philip Brunelle, and maybe even have
your picture taken with the Queen herself. BRIT BASH takes place at
The Historic Milwaukee Depot in Minneapolis; tickets are $200 per
person. For tickets and information, call 612-547-1453
or visit
www.vocalessence.org/gala.
Live
heralds will sound as you enter the Queen’s country dining room led
by traditional British Morris dancers, the royal guard, and her
Majesty. Savor the delicious British fare of Guinness-Braised Short
Ribs or Vegetable Napoleon while listening to the sweet sounds of
VocalEssence roving madrigal singers.
Sir
Philip Brunelle in all his majesty will lead his singers through a
tour of British melodies. And not to worry – everyone will get in
on the act, closing out the evening’s festivities with a sing-along
rendition of The
Land of Hope and Glory.
It will be an unforgettable evening, so dust off your fascinator and
join in the fun!
Over
600 prominent local leaders, celebrities, business owners and
community members will attend the VocalEssence biennial gala
supporting their education programs that give the gift of music to
more than 7,000 students each year. Proceeds benefit the VocalEssence
Community Engagement Programs—WITNESS teaching artists and
¡Cantaré! composers make 200 classroom visits each school year,
benefiting over 7,000 students throughout the metropolitan area.
- WITNESS is one of the nation’s premier initiatives celebrating the contributions of African Americans to our shared American heritage through concerts, recordings and comprehensive educational programs.
