Choral arts: An enchanting evening in exotic brazil

December 11 • Mandarin Oriental

THE PARTY
Brazil is one of the few places in the world where singing is a way of life. The partnership of the Choral Arts Society, chair Juanita Duggan and honorary chairs, the Brazilian Ambassador Roberto Abdenur and his wife Maria made for perfect party harmony.

THE SCENE
Guests dined, danced merengue and bid at a silent auction, which included a jaw dropping four-night stay in Rio de Janeiro, two oil paintings by South American artist Patricia Secco, and a two-night stay at the Alvear Palace in Buenos Aires.

THE PEOPLE
Coleman Jackson, William and Linda Webster, Chris and Lorraine Wallace, Mark Bisnow, Margot Machol, Grace Bender, Togo West, and Rep. John and Debbie Dingell.
