32nd Annual Pasta and Pops Dinner and Concert on May 12

The Niles West Music Parents Association (NWMPA) presents the 32nd annual Pasta & Pops Dinner and Concert, featuring performances by the Niles West High School orchestras, choirs and bands on May 12. This year’s performance honors William S. Koch, Director of Bands, who is retiring after 29 years of teaching at Niles West High School.

Pasta & Pops is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the NWMPA and all proceeds help to support music education at Niles West by funding projects and scholarships not covered by the fine arts department budget. On May 12, the silent auction begins at 5:30 p.m. followed by a dinner buffet at 6 p.m. and musical performances at 6:15 p.m. Tickets are $16 and include a pasta dinner and the legendary sweets table with desserts donated by the student performers and their families. Call Lori Berman at (847) 677-7301 by May 2 to request tickets. Individuals or businesses interested in providing an item or gift certificate for the silent auction, or to place an ad in the Pasta & Pops program book, please email pastanpops@gmail.com or call Susan Phillips at (312) 969-1899 by April 20.
