The Skylarks were founded by Julie Chan in 2018. “I had always wanted to form a group to perform iconic girl group songs,” said Chan. “We have a great set list that includes hits from the Ronettes, the Chiffons, the Chordettes—and even some Beach Boys and the Mammas and the Pappas thrown in.” The Skylarks members are altos Susan Elden and Vicki Moore, and sopranos Julie Chan and Kerri De Rosier. The Skylarks have been performing for private groups and events around town, and are excited to bring their unique show to the public at the Point Loma Assembly. Skylarks Live at the Assembly will feature music through the decades, with fifties hits such as Why do Fools Fall in Love by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers and Lollipop by the Chordettes; sixties hits like My Boyfriend’s Back by The Angels and Leader of the Pack by The Shangri-Las; and hits from as early as the forties and as late as the eighties. “We have something for everyone,” said Chan. “It will be a fun night for all.” Stay Connected on Social Media!

Be an ANGEL for homeless youth and please join us. Doors of Change is a 501-C-3 Organization that has helped over 2600 homeless youth get off the streets and into safe housing since 2001. Many of these youth become self-sufficient as a result. Our Homeless Youth Advocacy program develops trust very quickly with youth. Once trust is established, homeless youth ask for help. We help the most vulnerable youth, the transitional age youth (TAY) ages 17 to 25. Most are homeless because they come from such dysfunctional families, it is safer to live on the streets or if they are LGBTQ+ and come out, their parents kick them out of their home. Since COVID-19, we have broken records for the past 3 years in placing youth in safe housing. In 2022 we shattered the record by 188 youth, placing 349 youth in safe housing in San Diego. 100% of your tickets sales will go to help homeless youth because our amazing corporate Angels have underwritten all the costs of the concert. Any donation or ticket sale with be Matched dollar per dollar and doubled by the J.D. Bud and Vonda Webb Foundation.
