Symphony of the Sierra Concert
Columbia College’s Symphony of the Sierra boasts several new faces amidst the familiar ones, and conductor, Mic Harper, feels confident about the upcoming free concert in Dogwood at Columbia College, at 3 p.m. on Saturday, December 14th. “This season has held many pleasant surprises for me,” reports Harper, “and, the best of these has been the ongoing musical growth of the orchestra in combination with the influx of new musicians.” The startling thing has been how young these new members are. They range in age from eight to fifteen. “Bringing together any group of people to perform, while exciting, can be a daunting prospect,” says Harper, “but daring to mix such wide range of ages and skills is to jump off a musical cliff. The patience and skills of our older members has made all the difference. Thanks to the willingness and hard work of all concerned it has come to be more like flying than crashing.”
The wide-ranging repertoire promises to be a performance well worth hearing. The concert includes seasonal favorites, “Winter Wonderland and “Frosty the Snowman.” The orchestra’s string section will perform Shirl Jae Atwell’s “Drifen,” a vibrant, contemporary work for strings. The entire orchestra will play “Allemande and Bouree” by G.P. Telemann, Aaron Copland’s “Down a Country Lane,” John Barnes Chance’s “Variations on a Korean Folk Song, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Dubinushka,” and John Philip Sousa’s “Presidential Polonaise.”

"Zucca After Hours is open 5-8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
If you're looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a glass of wine on a Friday or Saturday night, the Zucca garden is your place. Because all those firepits are even better to sit by on a cool winter evening.
If the weather is yucky, no problem, we've got some nice bar seating in the Toscano room.
Oh, and we always welcome your picnic items or takeout from area restaurants should you want to make a night of it."
