You are invited to celebrate the sights and sounds of the United Kingdom at BRIT BASH, our 2012 gala on May 5, 2012 at the Depot. While sipping your Pimm’s Cup, you can stroll through our gifts from the British Isles, rub shoulders with Sir Philip Brunelle, or maybe have your picture taken with the Queen herself!

Over 600 prominent local leaders, celebrities, business owners and community members attend our biennial gala supporting our education programs that give the gift of music to more than 7,000 students each year. We’d be chuffed to bits to see you there – cheerio! 

Why?
Proceeds benefit the VocalEssence Community Engagement Programs—WITNESS teaching artists and ¡Cantaré! composers make 200 classroom visits each school year, benefitting 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.

•¡Cantaré! actively engages VocalEssence audiences and the wider community in the discovery, celebration and creation of music from Mexican traditions of the past and present.
