Marin Oratorio

COM’s Music program is finding harmony amidst discord during the pandemic. Innovative instructors have found ways to artfully maneuver around limitations to kee...p students engaged, encouraged, and supported, despite COVID restrictions. This is the third story in a multiple part series on how COM’s Performing Arts Department is evolving their programs to continue providing students with worthwhile experiences. COM's Jim Stopher, Ella Steinberg, and Boyd Jarrell discuss how finding balance between technology and instruction led to continued success of the program, including offering the community very contemporary and relevant performances. http://www1.marin.edu/news/finding-harmony-amidst-discord College of Marin.

Save the date! Our next concerts will be on May 16th and 17th, 2020! We will be performing music by the great Johannes Brahms. We are delighted to be learning this wonderful music. Brahms is one of the greatest romantic composers, and our concert will present so many sides of that romance. The Liebeslieder Love Songs, with two piano 4-hand accompaniment, waltz through many moods of love, from laughter to despair, from agony to bliss.... The German Requiem, accompanied by our grand orchestra, is a profoundly moving meditation, full of heart, pathos, solace and hope. We hope that you can experience this beautiful music to captivate and console with us. Tickets available soon!

Mark your calendars! Our next concert will be May 16-17. Johannes Brahms: Liebeslieder Walzer, Neue Liebeslieder, Ein Deutsches Requiem. Gorgeous music!
