The title of this year’s thirteenth annual fundraising Gala for the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra (SFCO) will be Two to Tango – Classical Meets Latin! For the performance portion of the evening, SFCO will provide music for tango dancers Mirabai Commer and Count Glover. Do not be surprised if guitars and bandoneons join the ensemble. The performance will be followed by a dinner featuring the cuisine of South America. As usual, the evening will begin with a “Bubbly Reception” with hors d’oeuvres to supplement the champagne. Guests will be invited to participate in a silent auction while enjoying their “bites and bubbly.” The dinner will be followed by a live auction and dancing. Cocktail attire will be appropriate for this event.
Festivities will begin at 6 p.m. on Saturday, March 23. The venue will be The St. Regis San Francisco, located at 125 3rd Street in the SOMA District, adjoining the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
