Born around an Occidental bonfire in the winter of 1978, our west county chorale is pleased to present a joyous winter concert of songs and spoken word that soothe and inspire, celebrate resilience, tradition and community, and make us laugh and cry in these fraught times. We offer our own choir composers’ ‘ Music from Home’, blended with contemporary and classic compositions spanning many genres and cultures – plus poetry and theatrics – to spread ‘Comfort and Joy’. Tickets are $25.@ occidentalchoir.org/tickets. Kids 12 and under $1 with online seat reservation. Be sure to get your tickets in advance so you don’t miss out!
