Nine Centuries of Singing
The Bay Area’s own 23-voice choir, Aeternum, is performing in Napa next month with two separate shows in its Echoes of Light concert series.

Tickets to see Echoes of Light are sold at aeternumchoir.org and cost $25 apiece, though students, first responders and veterans may pay a discounted price. Mont La Salle Chapel is located at 4405 Redwood Rd. in Napa, and St. Mary’s Episcopal Church is located at 917 Third St. in Napa.
Santa Rosa
DUN-DUN…DUN-DUN
There’s a screening of Jaws coming soon to a Charles M. Schulz Museum nearby! This showing of Steven Speilberg’s classic 1975 thriller, Jaws, coincides with the museum’s exhibition of “Bravo, Snoopy! Peanuts and Pawpet Theater.” Who in their right mind wouldn’t want to come out to Santa Rosa’s iconic Charlie Brown-themed museum to see the world’s most famous movie about a murderous shark? Tickets to the Friday Movie Night showing of Jaws cost only $10 per person, though museum members receive an additional discount of 20% off. And everyone will enjoy free popcorn to chomp on, just like the scary shark chomps in the movie. Tickets can be purchased in advance at schulzmuseum.org or at the door. ‘Jaws’ will play on Friday, Sept. 6, at 7pm, at the Charles M. Schulz Museum, located at 2301 Hardies Ln., Santa Rosa.
