    “Come with me... and you’ll be... in a world of pure imagination. Take a look... and you’ll see... into your imagination.”

    Join us for our journey into the fantasy world of Clara’s fertile mind as she imagines the storyline for a movie about the Nutcracker and the King of Mice.

    Set in the over-the-top, flashy, tinsel town called Hollywood, Clara shares images of enchantment and magic sleighs in the Land of the Sweets, daring battles, and a dashing Nutcracker Prince.

    Along the way, we experience the self-discovery of a confused and questioning young man as he transforms and finds the star within himself. Can the true meaning of the Holiday Season be far behind?

    “There is no place I know... to compare with pure imagination. Living there... you’ll be free... if you truly wish to be.”

    Bradley ConnlainGuest Conductor/Artistic Director

  • San Franciscolesbian/Gay Freedom Band San Franciscolesbian/Gay Freedom Band

    Named the “Official Band of the City of San Francisco” in honor of its 25th anniversary in 2003, the San Francisco Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band is the first openly gay music organization ever, inspiring the formation of lesbian and gay bands, choruses, and performing troupes around the world. Founded in 1978 by Jon Sims at the height of Anita Bryant’s anti-gay crusade, the Band debuted marching behind Supervisor Harvey Milk’s convertible in the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade.

    The Band has been making music to build understanding between gay and non-gay communities for 35 years. Named a Most Absolutely Fabulous Music Contingent and The Most Absolutely Fabulous Contingent of the San Francisco LGBT Pride Parade, the Band performs for hundreds of thousands at parades

    throughout the year, including San Francisco’s Chinese New Year’s Parade, the Corte Madera Fourth of July Parade, and at pride parades throughout the West Coast.

    Some of the Band’s credits include perfor-mances at the Contemporary Jewish Museum, the California Academy of Sciences, the film-ing of the Oscar-winning Gus Van Sant film Milk, the unveiling of the Harvey Milk Statue at City Hall, and the Hayward Gay Prom. Members have performed in the Inaugural Parade of President Barack Obama and at both Presidential Inaugurals of Bill Clinton and at Gay Games every four years as part of the Lesbian & Gay Bands Association’s (LGBA) massed band.
