students and all members of its community. UC Davis
prohibits all forms of sexual harassment and sexual violence,
including sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and
stalking. Such conduct violates University policy and may
violate California law.

The chorus (“National Masterwork Chorus”) will be made up of
nearly 70 singers from UC Davis and approximately 20
singers from the Granite Bay High School, which is directed by
UC Davis music alum Susanna Peeples (B.A. music ’09).
Other singers will join from Georgia Tech and Northern Arizona
University, with the program presented by the collaborative
concert producer, National Concerts. Practically on
Juneteenth, this special concert program likely represents a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the students performing!
