When Toyota introduced its Lexus LS 400 luxury automobile in September, it ran ads touting the $35,000 sedan as the ingenious brainchild of "1,400 perfectionists" and "close to faultless."

The Opportunes, as usual, provided solid performances, including "Still of the Night." The Impromptus, a subset of the Kuumba Singers, battled microphone problems to deliver a capable rendition of "Why Do Fools Fall in Love...
