What a great introduction to Oakland Youth Chorus. The kids were awesome! I loved the performers who donated their time and talent to raising money to support this worthy organization. I plan on going to the Oakland Youth Chorus's December 13th Christmas Show.

A wonderful event, featuring extraordinary talent in a perfect venue. What a gift to the community! I was surprised to find empty seats for what should have been a sold-out performance.
