The Matanzas High School cafeteria will be transformed into a mattress store on Saturday, Sept. 6, as the chorus program raises money for a trip to New York in March to perform at the Lincoln Center.
Custom Fundraising Solutions will host the sale from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with mattresses, adjustable bases, mattress protectors and pillows for sale. CFS will also deliver.
This is the fourth year the Matanzas chorus program will hold a mattress sale fundraiser by CFS, chorus director Jens Oliva said. The mattresses are top quality and sold at a reduced rate, he added.
The Matanzas chorus has been invited to perform in the Octavo Series presented by Manhattan Concert Productions with other Central Florida high schools under the direction of Stetson University music professor Timothy Peter on March 16, 2026, at Alice Tully Hall in the Lincoln Center.
Peter, one of the guest conductors in the series, will direct a 300- to 400- member choir including Matanzas students, Oliva said. The students will depart for New York on March 13 and return on March 17. In addition to the concert and rehearsals, other activities will include sightseeing and a Broadway show.
