September 9—10

St. Paul's Episcopal, Oakland  7:30pm
Trinity Episcopal, San Francisco  5pm

This September, to mark the five-year anniversary of the World Trade Center disaster, the Pacific Collegium will present Duruflé's Requiem and two major works of Gerald Finzi in a benefit concert on behalf of the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation.

NDSDF, a primary organization for the training and support of search and rescue dog teams, was prominent in the rescue efforts at the World Trade Center five years ago and in many before and since, including Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Their expert search teams are provided at no cost to fire departments and other emergency service agencies throughout the country. As a tax-exempt charity with no government funding, NDSDF relies on support from private individuals, foundations and corporations to provide this crucial service.
