Howdy neighbor,
It seems that as soon as it stopped being too hot, Autumn is sweeping in quickly. We wrap up our 2025 season of the summer concert series with the amazing Bill Cole and friends playing some fantastic jazz music! We are grateful for your support so far this year, but our work is never finished, with so much happening this Fall and more, so we ask for your continued support! If you are hoping specifically to support music in Claremont Schools – we have a restricted donation option to help offset the budget cuts to programs WCCMA already provides (including visiting artists in residence like African Drumming and Japanese Taiko). DONATE
Stay creative.
Chris’ music recommendation this week – He who beats a drum for a mad man to dance is no better than the mad man from Music for Yoruba Proverbs by Bill Cole & Untempered Ensemble (link to Bandcamp)
