Petaluma, CA. ~ Join us for our 8th Annual New Years’ Eve Gala concert, pre- sented by Sky Hill Cultural Alliance and the Petaluma Museum As- sociation, as we kick off the New Year Sat- urday, Decem- ber 31, 2016 6pm – 8pm Petaluma His- torical Library & Museum, located at 20 4th Street, Petaluma (Cor- ner of 4th & B Streets) Each year’s


“Gala Concert” has been a sensa- tion and has become a New Year’s Eve tradition, not only for Peta- lumans, but also for residents of


nearby towns wishing to bring in the New Year with inspired artist- ry and great “live” classi- cal music. Without hav- ing to drive to San Francis- co, San Fran- cisco comes to us, as a number of the perform- ing string players are beloved high- caliber musi- cians from the San Fran- cisco Sym- phony. Yun Chu, violin; Shu-Yi Pai,


cello and Nancy Severance, viola, have been performing at this venue since the series inception in 2010, with Elizabeth Walter, pianist – the


series creator and coordinator. This ensemble has been acclaimed for their insightful interpretation and marvelous cohesion. This year we are being joined by Karen Clark, mezzo-soprano.


Seeing the need for local high- quality classical music events, Elizabeth Walter, in conjunction with Sky Hill Cultural Alliance and the Petaluma Museum Association, have provided the community with many outstanding and inspiring concerts. We encourage you to get your tickets early, as this event has sold out in past years. See you there!
