The San Jose Symphonic Choir would greatly appreciate your mentioning their upcoming concert on March 31 and April 1st at St. Joseph Cathedral Basilica, 80 South Market Street, Downtown San Jose. The concert begins at 8 PM both evenings. This concert is being presented as a fund raising event to benefit the homeless of Santa Clara County. Donations to this cause are encouraged.
The concert features The world Premier or new work by Henry Molliconi, a world renowned local composer commissioned to write The Beatitude Mass to benefit the Homeless. This new work is based upon Latin prayers from the mass, interjected with English texts composed by William Luce, based upon interviews with residents of homeless shelters.
