The Grammy Award–winning Pacific Boychoir will sing selections ranging from choral masterworks to American spirituals and include highlights from their coming tour to Argentina. Organist and composer William Ludtke will play Cesar Franck’s Third Chorale and a Walther Concerto.

The concert is sponsored by the Friends of First Church, Berkeley, and proceeds will benefit the Roof Fund. The roof of the 1910 Auditorium has already been replaced, and the critical seismic work completed. Roof and seismic work is now needed in the 1929 Sunday School addition. Recent heavy rains revealed major leaks, and funds are needed for this critical work. Seismic work includes strengthening of the south “Bubblestone” wall of the Sunday School. This urgent seismic work is presently underway.
