On Saturday, September 26, donors and PC@60 Society members gathered for our Annual Meeting at the new Witte Hall at Newport Beach Public Library. The intimate, 300-seat auditorium made a beautiful setting for the afternoon.

Board Chair Julie Virjee and members of our leadership team, including Rhett M. Del Campo, Alex Nelson, Amy Henderson, and Natalie Oswald, presented artistic and financial accomplishments of the 2025–26 season. Guests were also among the first to hear about several major fundraising milestones, which will be shared publicly in the coming months.

Next came the music. Stephanie Shepson, Michael Fagerstedt, and Nicholas Preston each performed two solos, accompanied by pianist David Clemensen. In a hall this size, every phrase felt close at hand.

The afternoon ended with a reception on the Stahr Courtyard, where guests mingled with the singers, fellow supporters and administrative staff.
