May 3, 4, 5, 11 & 12 - Occidental Community Choir Concert "Heaven and Earth" For over three decades, the Occidental Community Choir has heralded the return of spring with performances that combine music, spoken word... and the occasional tap-dancing dog or fish-puppet extravaganza. The OCC's 2013 spring concert series, "Heaven and Earth," continues that tradition with new and OCC-original music, both earthy and celestial.
