Thomas Hampson Honored by SF Conservatory of Music
The San Francisco Conservatory of Music held its annual gala on Saturday, April 20, 2013, in honor of legendary baritone Thomas Hampson. "An Evening of Voice Honoring Thomas Hampson" featured performances by Hampson, who shared the stage with Conservatory student singers and faculty. The most important fundraising and outreach event of the year, the gala took in $300,000 for the Conservatory's educational programs. Gala co-chairs Teresa Medearis and Trustee Barbara Walkowski pronounced the evening a "resounding success in every way" for the 250 guests in attendance. And the event's co-chairs were suitably decked in regal attire for the occasion: Walkowski in a silk chiffon Carolina Herrera gown in vibrant red, and Medearis donned in emerald green taffeta by Monique Lhuillier. Trustee Deepa Pakianathan displayed her signature style in a black and white dress by Rubin Singer, one of Beyonce's favorite designers. Catering for the event was provided by McCall's, Catering and Events and decor by Blueprint Studios. Wells Fargo was the official corporate Patron, with corporate sponsorships provided by Asset Management Company, Bank of America and CM Capital Advisors.
