CCC cancels 2020 performances

May 04, 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant challenges for arts organizations large and small around the world.

This year, the CCC was to celebrate 21 years of building community through choral singing. Today, we’re sad to formally announce the cancellation of our 2020 season – feeling all the more fortunate for 3 amazing projects in 2019. We hope you enjoy our Year in Review.

As we continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation, we are exploring the possibility of moving our 2020 itinerary into 2021 fully intact. Further updates will be posted on our website and social media pages.

In the meantime, stay safe – and all the best!
