Many Voices, One Art – Saturday March 1, 2025 9:30 am – 2:30 pm
Calvary Presbyterian Church, 2515 Fillmore St. at Jackson, San Francisco

What time does the Festival begin?
Registration opens at 9:00 and the opening Welcome/Warm-up starts at 9:30.

What should I bring?
Bring a water bottle with lid or cover, and food for the lunch break. Sorry, no food or other liquids (including coffee!) are allowed in the Sanctuary or Chapel. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes that allow you to move.

We’ll also have a Singer Resources table set up, so please feel free to bring postcards, sign-up sheets, concert or audition announcements, or any other materials that might be of interest to Bay Area singers.

What about eating lunch?
Please bring your own bag lunch or snack. You can purchase lunch nearby, but time might be a bit too tight. There are several outdoor courtyards at Calvary, or you can sit on the front steps of the church entrance. We will have some tables and chairs set up in Calvin Hall, and will leave doors open for airflow (dress warmly!).

How do I get there?
Street parking is available in the neighborhood, but can be challenging to find on a weekend. Please allow extra time to find parking, and carpool if possible.
