"Variety is the Spice of Life!"

---

On Sunday May 2nd, Sally Munro presented a concert at the Presidio Interfaith Chapel in San Francisco (www.interfaith-presidio.org), tapping the musical resources of the Northern California Center for the Alexander Technique and friends. The concert was a fundraiser for the Presidio Interfaith Center titled “Variety is the Spice of Life!.” And what variety it was. Hosted by Eron Block(husband of NCCAT trainee Daina Block*), the show went from Baroque to Bluegrass,from Mozart to Mexico, and from Hungarian rhapsodies to Balkan and beyond. Excerpts from this concert are listed below and may be heard by clicking the links.  You can hear the entire concert at www.useselfwell.com/PresidioConcert. Students, graduates and teachers from the Northern California Center for the Alexander Technique receive the designation* alongside their names.
