Judy Collins

COC Presents

7 p.m. Sunday, March 13
Main Stage

Tickets

Judy Collins has long inspired audiences with sublime vocals, boldly vulnerable songwriting, personal life triumphs, and a firm commitment to social activism. In the 1960s, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Five decades later, her luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 55-album body of work, and heed inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century.

Black Violin

COC Presents

8 p.m. Wednesday, March 23
Main Stage

Tickets

For more than a dozen years, Black Violin has been all about taking things further, exceeding expectations, challenging conventions. The classical-meets-hip-hop duo has steadily built a devoted following and a diverse touring base — culminating in such triumphs as two sold-out shows at the Kennedy Center with the National Symphony Orchestra commemorating the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s death — while occupying a musical lane that’s entirely its own. We hope you'll join us as Black Violin bring its blend of classical, hip-hop, rock, R&B, and bluegrass music to the PAC.

The Roaring '20s
(From Five Centuries)

Santa Clarita Master Chorale

4 p.m. Sunday, June 5
Main Stage

Tickets

The 2020s began with a pandemic growl, so we are only now just beginning to “roar.” We’ve reached back into previous centuries and found some choral gems that resounded in their respective '20s. Beginning with Palestrina in 1520 we bring the sounds of such luminaries as Purcell, Pergolesi, Mendelssohn and Beethoven, right into George Gershwin and Cole Porter. Join us for a journey through the thriving '20s in lyrics and song.
