Columbia Civic Orchestra
2020-2021 Virtual Season
Thank you for checking in on our website to see what we are planning in the coming months. Though we may be limited in what is possible during the current environment, we feel it is important that we do what we can. The centerpieces of our activities this year will be the release of four video projects that will be open to our members and other members of the community if they wish to participate. We will collect captures of individuals’ performances and integrate them into videos that will be released throughout the fall and spring.
Below is a schedule of our video releases:

Below is a schedule of our video releases:
- Many of us feel silenced by our inability to make music with each other. Therefore we’ve decided that the American folksong “How Can I Keep from Singing” will be an effective way to express ourselves at a time when we are distanced from each other. We will record this project in October and release it in November.
- In observance of the holidays we will record “In the Bleak Midwinter,” which will express the feelings of loneliness and isolation that our community has been experiencing during this time. This will be recorded in November for a December release.
- For our February release, we will record the inspirational “Lift Every Voice and Sing” in celebration of Black History Month.
- As outreach to young people and families, our March videos will feature movements from Saint Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals.
