Our Sincerest gratitude to the community for attending this past concert Celebrating the Works of Dr. Ronald Kean. We could not continue to support future concerts and artists without your generous support!

Thank you to First Congregational Church of Bakersfield, UCC for the use of their fabulous facilities, Bakersfield Master Chorale for the use of the risers, our Sponsors Doug Davis and Matthew Hanne, and all of our volunteers! Thank you to Dionne Bolton Photography for coming out to take photos for this fabulous event.

We could not have done this recital without the students, alumni, and Directors! Huge shout out to Dr. Jen Garrett, Dr. Ángel Vásquez-Ramos, Patrick Burzlaff, Patrick Bender, and Rochelle Howard for shaping this concert into the beautiful work of art it was.

Dr. Kean, we have no words but we did our best to show you our gratitude with actions. You mean the world to this community and to us!
