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.
