The Occidental Community Choir invites audiences to its Spring concert series, Postcards, a musical journey through memory, connection, and the moments that shape our lives.General admission tickets for $25. Experience this choral series across multiple venues, including a special benefit night and an inclusive performance for the whole community.Occidental Community Choir Presents: Postcards

In times that can feel uncertain or isolating, even small gestures of connection—a postcard, a call, a simple message saying “I’m thinking of you”—can remind us that we are not alone. Postcards is built around that spirit of reaching out. Each piece in the program serves as a musical postcard: a snapshot from a particular time and place, carrying stories of joy, longing, hope, and reflection.
Some of these musical postcards arrive bright and sun-drenched; others carry the weathered edges of memory. Together they form a collection of moments that remind us our lives are measured not only in years, but in the experiences that stay with us and the ones we share with others.
Through song, the choir becomes both sender and recipient—offering voices as messages of care, presence, and connection. Postcards is a reminder that even in difficult times, music can help us reach across distance and say something simple and powerful: you matter, you are connected, and you are not alone.
Join the Occidental Community Choir this spring for an evening of music that carries stories, memories, and hope into a weary and waiting world.
