San Francisco Lyric Chorus Celebrates Panama Pacific Intnatl. Exposition
Summer 2015 brings a special opportunity for Bay Area singers as the SFLC celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Panama Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco’s 1915 world’s fair that showcased San Francisco’s recovery from the devastating 1906 earthquake, as well as honoring the opening of the Panama Canal. The PPIE was set in what is now San Francisco’s Marina District—over 600 acres of buildings and gardens, with amazing and magical events every day. Over 35 countries and many states were represented at the fair, and over 19 million people attended.
