To get your summer off to a great start, may we suggest something a little different that may just get you dancing in the aisles of the HMB Oddfellows Hall? Dirty Cello is a multi-talented, energetic band led by Rebecca Roudman, a classically trained cellist who has played with professional orchestras in the Bay Area. The band takes on everything from classic rock to blues and other genres, as Ms. Roudman improvises on her cello, sings and may even switch to the fiddle! Catch the band this Sunday, June 14 at 4:30 pm at 526 Main Street, HMB. More info: https://hmb-odd.org/calendar/dirty-cello-2026

How has CCO invited young people to explore classical music over the years? (Clockwise from top) Two exciting demos: "For the Love of Music" assembly at Boys & Girls Club for all 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students on the Coastside, plus our participation in a panel at BBE Film Festival, both in collaboration with Beach Break Entertainment! CCO has also repaired or replaced student instruments, such as this tuba for the Cunha Band; invited advanced teen musicians to join the orchestra for a semester; and we perform for classrooms and small groups, providing kids an up-close experience with orchestral instruments. https://www.coastsidegives.org/organization/cco

Our Spring concert is almost here! We close out our 43rd season this Saturday, April 11 at 7:30pm at the IDES Hall in downtown Half Moon Bay. Come and enjoy Aaron Copland's Suite from Appalachian Spring, as well as Ludwig van Beethoven's amazing Symphony #5.

It is difficult to imagine how Beethoven could write this symphony and so many other works with the depth, intensity and emotion that characterize his music. After all, he was only in his mid-30s when he wrote "the fifth" and was already struggling with deafness. The Symphony reveals its serious and very recognizable theme from its first four notes. But don't despair, listeners; you will also hear quite a bit of joy and celebration throughout this iconic and familiar work.
