Concert Series
In order to raise awareness of arts at Don Bosco Prep, the music department and alumni have begun a series of concerts. Some of these concerts feature religious or classical music and are included in the "Mary, Help of Christians Chapel Concert Series." Other concerts, organized by the alumni association, present more contemporary music. Billed artists have included:
- John Pizzarelli (who graduated in 1977) and Bucky Pizzarelli, famed jazz artists
- Liza Minnelli, winner of the Tony, the Emmy, the Oscar, and the Grammy
- Chanticleer, San Francisco all-male a cappella choir
- Philip Smith, Principal Trumpeter of the New York Philharmonic
- Gordon Turk, concert organist
- Yale Whiffenpoofs, the oldest U.S. collegiate a cappella group

Famous quotes containing the words concert and/or series:
“Proportion ... You can’t help thinking about it in these London streets, where it doesn’t exist.... It’s like listening to a symphony of cats to walk along them. Senseless discords and a horrible disorder all the way.... A concert of Brobdingnagian cats. Order has been turned into a disgusting chaos. We need no barbarians from outside; they’re on the premises, all the time.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The woman’s world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
