The mission at Santa Clara University is one of California’s most stunning churches. As we were there setting up there were several tourists enjoying the inerior and it reminded me of how I too enjoy seeing one of our historic missions when I’m in a mission city.  There are 21 missions with Mission Sonoma being our northern-most mission.

Every wall of the mission has so much art in it and I found the ceiling lights a nice compromise of old and new. We can perform as a string quintet,quartet, trio, duo and solo. We work with cantors as well.

We all study the missions in 4th grade as they help form our idea of California’s early development.
