The Berkeley City Club will be filled with chamber music June 9 at the third annual Mozart for Mutts and Meows concert, a benefit for the Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society.
The concert will feature some of the Bay Area's premier musicians: Wanda Warkentin, principal cellist with the Santa Rosa Symphony; violinist Christina Mok, concertmaster of the Stockton Symphony; pianist Miles Graber, chamber music coach in the preparatory division of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music; and Maria Tamburrino, principal flutist with the Midsummer Mozart Orchestra.
This year's program, as always, will be all-Mozart, including a sonata for flute and piano, a trio for violin, cello and piano, opera duets transcribed for flute and piano, and the famous variations for violin and piano, "Ah, vous dirai-je Maman," better known as "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.
The event will also feature a silent auction to benefit Claude's Fund, named after the Humane Society's late office cat. The fund pays for medical care for animals rescued by the Humane Society from overcrowded shelters.
Among the items: a VIP tour of Pixar Studios in Emeryville; club box tickets to a Giants-Dodgers game; passes to the Chabot Space & Science Center; and tickets to Kung Pao Kosher Comedy's fourth annual George Bush Going Away Party.
