Join us for a breathtaking evening of music, celebration, and elegance as Meistersingers presents our 2026 Winter Gala. This special occasion promises an unforgettable night of artistry, meaningful tributes, and shared commitment to the choral arts in Orange County.

Event Highlights:

Honoring Sally Knapp: We are proud to celebrate Sally Knapp, whose lifelong devotion to choral music embodies the spirit of Meistersingers. Sally's musical journey began at age 13 in her church choir and flourished at Stanford, where she sang with the university choir and had the remarkable opportunity to perform alongside the San Francisco Symphony during her time there. Her passion has continued through the William Hall Master Chorale, various women's ensembles, and as a cherished member of Meistersingers. Together with her husband Jim, Sally has been a steadfast champion of the arts in Orange County, and we are honored to recognize her extraordinary contributions.
Captivating Performances: Experience a preview of selections from our upcoming "America the Beautiful" concert, along with exquisite art songs performed by members of Meistersingers—a perfect complement to our evening's theme of American Elegance.
