A gift from the Kiwanis Club
The Mother's Day Concert in the Park is a gift to the community from the Kiwanis Club of Downtown San Diego.
The San Diego Kiwanis Club has spent more than 90 years providing extensive community involvement programs for youth and the greater San Diego community.
“The annual concert makes it possible for the community at large to experience our students' talent and to enjoy the concert at the beautiful Balboa Park venue,” said Donna Conaty, director of SDSU School of Music and Dance.
“I applaud Kiwanis for presenting the concert and want to thank our faculty who spend hours inside and outside the classroom helping students prepare for such performances.”
