Two Decades of Artistic Excellence

Celebrating 20 Years of SCFPA and 10 Years of the Benderly-Kendall Opera House

A year of celebration is ahead. The Benderly-Kendall Opera House has been a gift to our community since its doors first opened on January 27, 2017. As we mark this significant milestone, we invite you to join us in honoring the past while looking forward to a vibrant future.

FROM OUR BEGINNINGS TO THE NEXT CHAPTER

From our beginnings presenting chamber music in private homes to our beautiful 80-seat Opera House, it has been an extraordinary journey. That journey led to the opening of the Benderly-Kendall Opera House on January 27, 2017, becoming a special home for music, artists, and audiences.

As we celebrate this milestone, we invite you to join us in honoring the past—and looking forward to a vibrant future.
