Experience Joni Mitchell’s iconic music reimagined with fresh artistry and heartfelt authenticity. The Christina Galisatus Quintet brings new life to timeless songs like Both Sides Now, exploring Mitchell’s eclectic catalog while honoring the emotional depth at its core.

Picture this: The lights dim and the audience settles into hushed anticipation. A flickering beam cuts through the dark as the opening frames of Nosferatu (1922) appear on the screen—grainy, ghostlike, alive with shadows. The theater is utterly still until the first notes of live music rise from the pianist.

Find us in our regular Tuesday Night Market spot, just to the right of City Hall. We’ll be selling tasty aguas frescas and will have Dia de Muertos butterflies to decorate.

Our culinary department has several world-class chefs who teach in our kitchen on a regular basis. The classes are hands-on, teach basic and advanced techniques, and usually include a family-style meal at the end. Sometimes there are even wine pairings! Meet three of our regular chefs by listening to their stories on the Sonoma Community Center Podcast. Click on an image below to listen.

Happening This Weekend, September 12-15

What an amazing turnout for last night’s reception for our elephants. We had guests from the Sonoma Art Walk, Members of the Sonoma Chamber, and Mayor Patricia Farrar Rivas with several Sonoma City Council Members. Rosemary McNeely had the honor of cutting the ribbon during the ceremony. She discovered the Great Elephant Migration while in New York and decided to bring a pair to Sonoma Valley, which will be permanently on display in front of the Center.

The Center has made the difficult decision to cancel the other festivities that had been planned for November 1st.
