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:
“... in the cities there are thousands of rolling stones like me. We are all alike; we have no ties, we know nobody, we own nothing. When one of us dies, they scarcely know where to bury him.... We have no house, no place, no people of our own. We live in the streets, in the parks, in the theatres. We sit in restaurants and concert halls and look about at the hundreds of our own kind and shudder.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“Rosalynn said, “Jimmy, if we could only get Prime Minister Begin and President Sadat up here on this mountain for a few days, I believe they might consider how they could prevent another war between their countries.” That gave me the idea, and a few weeks later, I invited both men to join me for a series of private talks. In September 1978, they both came to Camp David.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
