Japanese Taiko Drumming this week(6/5 & 6/6) and summer music on the horizon!

Happy Wednesday!

Thanks to everyone who joined us for CCC’s 1st Birthday party on Sunday, 6/1! It was so good to see you all and chat about the events we’ve had and all the great events we have planned for this summer, and beyond! Thank you all for your continued support.

As we embark on the coming of summer music we ask our friends and supporters to consider making a donation to support live music. As you may be aware, the funding landscapes for the arts at the local, state, and federal level are in considerable hardship – so your support now really helps to keep incredible world-class artists available right here in Claremont – and for a freewill donation! Donate to WCCMA

It’s Taiko week! Check the schedule/locations, and you don’t want to miss it! This event also marks the start of our Summer Concerts, so please come and tell us which musicians you are looking forward to seeing this summer.

Stay creative.

Chris’ music recommendation this week – JONEE EARTHQUAKE BAND – Rat Rod

I can’t believe it’s almost been a year since the Claremont Creative Center opened its doors, to serve the community with arts and music programs, as well as providing local organizations and groups a place to gather and host their events.

So I think it’s time to light the candle on the cake and have a party! (Bring your own birthday hat?) Please join us to celebrate this amazing place, to look back at last year’s events, and look forward to a bright future.

Listen to the rain, enjoy the beauty of nature in Spring, and hope to see you at our next event!

Stay creative.
