UCR alumni and friends are invited to join the Los Angeles Chapter of the UCR Alumni Association at their annual Hollywood Bowl outing on Saturday, August 19, 2006. 

The program will be "The Great American Concert: Walt Disney's Fantasia with Fireworks." Nearly 70 years ago, Walt Disney used the skill of his world-class animators to visualize the world of classical music. The result: Walt Disney's Fantasia. For the first time, John Mauceri  and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra recreate this magic - an evening of musical selections with film clips on the Bowl's big screens.

You'll see your favorites as well as the world premiere of Clair de lune, plus a glimpse into the brilliant artwork and unfinished segments of this masterpiece. The evening ends with fireworks that complement the spectacular beauty of this cinematic triumph.

Tickets cost $35 for Alumni Association members, $38 for non-members. The deadline for reservations and payment is June 30, 2006. Click here for more information.

Membership rates are scheduled to increase.
