The longest running, year-round teen ensemble in the Bay Area has been going strong for 26 years. This year, enjoy the show two ways! Hear them in person under the tent Jan. 21 at the Marin Country Mart in Larkspur Landing or join the 90-minute concert virtually. The music begins at 6 p.m. PST.
Two `Til Dawn alums will headline the show. Actor and music artist Laura D’Andre will perform virtually, while soul singer and composer Lilan Kane will sing in-person.
`Til Dawn is an advanced vocal music program that draws its singers from local high schools. Several former members have gone onto professional careers in the arts. Selected members of Still Dawn (`Til Dawn graduates) will be streaming in to perform from across the country.
“What I’ve learned in this group – how to communicate, how to listen, and how to exist in the world – is more than any school could teach in a lifetime,” said `Til Dawn graduate Ian Sotnick.
Renowned singer-songwriter Austin Willacy directs the group. Willacy records as a solo artist and with the pioneering a cappella group, The House Jacks.
This is the first year `Til Dawn has performed live and virtually. Despite the pandemic, he said, “we do get to gather together in celebration of song.
“We’re pioneering again,” Willacy said. “We are doing everything we can to make the best of what’s possible.”
Tickets for the event can be purchased here. The event’s presenting sponsor is Marin Country Mart.
