The North State Symphony will perform their 2017 holiday concert at the State Theatre Saturday, December 9, with another performance taking place at All Saints Episcopal Church in Redding on Sunday, December 10.
This week marks the third anniversary of the Live Music in the North State column, which was born after local performing songwriter Jonathan Foster plied me with beer and said, “Y’know, what we need around here is one place to find out who’s playing and where.” Thanks, Jonathan. I think.
