Soroptimist Intl of Glendale (SIG) has partnered with Glendale Community College's (GCC) Music and Performing Arts department to establish a scholarship program for women studying music or performing arts to support their educational goals while strengthening their career path. Contributions to this event will build on the endowment for women in this field of study. Soroptimist is a global volunteer organization that increases access to education for women and girls facing obstacles, which leads to achieving their goals and becoming economically self-sufficient. Soroptimist Intl of Glendale strongly believes that education is the pathway to economically empowering women, and we desire to create a scholarship for women who face obstacles to accessing education (but who are not eligible for the Live Your Dream Award). This would be that scholarship.

The Symphony of the Verdugos, West African Drumming Ensemble, and Dr. Tobin Sparfeld will be joined by flutist Sara Andon, a world-renowned performer of Hollywood film scores and orchestral concertos. We are excited to have Ms. Andon join us for a performance of “To Kill a Mockingbird,” arranged for her by Robert Townson and performed worldwide to much acclaim. 

The Luncheon will be held in the Culinary center in the Sierra Vista Building, adjacent to parking lot A. 

The concert performance will be in the Auditorium Main Stage adjacent to Lot I and Circle Drive. 

Shuttles will be available before and after the event for those needing assistance traveling between the two spaces.
