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:
“Man is head, chest and stomach. Each of these animals operates, more often than not, individually. I eat, I feel, I even, although rarely, think.... This jungle crawls and teems, is hungry, roars, gets angry, devours itself, and its cacophonic concert does not even stop when you are asleep.”
—René Daumal (1908–1944)
“Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
