STERN GROVE FESTIVAL ASSOCIATION SEEKS VOLUNTEERS
FOR 1996 STERN GROVE MIDSUMMER MUSIC FESTIVAL 
RECEPTION  FOR  ALL  INTERESTED
THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1996 , 5:00 - 7:00 PM, 
SAN FRANCISCO MARRIOTT


	SAN FRANCISCO, March 19, 1996 - A reception to recruit new
volunteers and welcome returning volunteers of the Stern Grove
Midsummer Music Festival will be held on Thursday, April 25 from
5:00-7:00 PM in the Club Room of the San Francisco Marriott, 55 Fourth
Street, between Market and Mission.

	All interested persons are invited to this FREE event. Volunteer
opportunities for the 1996 Festival season will be announced and guests
can meet and talk with staff, board members and returning Volunteer
Friends of the Festival, to learn more about the free concert series in
the Grove. Volunteering with the Festival is a great way to meet
people, enjoy the beautiful outdoors of Stern Grove and experience
world class performances while participating and helping to make
possible this well-loved music festival which has been the cultural
pride of San Francisco for almost sixty years.

	Stern Grove volunteers are a vital and important part of the
Midsummer Music Festival.  They take part in a variety of activities at
the Grove on concert days, including providing backstage hospitality,
staffing the Festival Outdoor Shop as well as ushering, program
distribution, providing public information, collecting voluntary
donations, distributing and collecting audience surveys and other
special projects.  Some volunteers are also needed in the Festival
office during regular weekday working hours, to assist with occasional
special projects.  There are opportunities to participate in the
Festival's weekday programs for children, and off-site concert previews
in the community as well.

	For the fourth year, the beautiful, centrally-located San
Francisco Marriott is the official hotel of the Stern Grove Midsummer
Music Festival, and hosts this event for Festival volunteers.  Hors
d'oeuvres and refreshments will be served.
