William Barclay (4).pdf

For over 30 years, the William Barclay Memorial Concert has been a yearly SRCS tradition that showcases high school choirs and raises money for special scholarships.

The Concert Choir will be participating in the revival of this tradition on January 30th. It’s an all day event that will bring Maria Carillo, Montgomery, Rancho, Piner, and Santa Rosa High School Choirs together to have a non-competitive festival performance in the morning with our guest director, Travis Rogers, followed by an afternoon of singing together, culminating with a public concert in the evening. The money raised will be divided among the 5 schools and given as scholarships to singer(s) in each group. Tickets are now available for the William Barclay Memorial Concert in The Center For Spiritual Living on Thursday, January 30th at 7:00pm. (2075 Occidental Rd, Santa Rosa, CA)

We are asking for a $10.00 (+$1 fee) donation for each ticket. First come first serve - seating is limited - each school is only allowed to sell 60 tickets, so don’t delay. Please visit the GoFan website to purchase tickets:
