Last Sunday I attended the “When Irish Eyes Are Shining” performance of the Sonoma Valley Chorale. It was sold-out and for good reason. These performers, many of them your neighbors, were magnificent under the direction of the chorale’s third excellent conductor, Travis Rogers. The hour and a half of beautiful choral music kept the audience in concentrated rapture. Mr. Rogers invited those in attendance to come again either as audience members or as singers. The Sonoma Valley Chorale has been performing for decades and is truly a Sonoma Musical Treasure. To get information here’s their website:
