Dear Friends,
Many events have been cancelled due to COVID-19. Odyssey is extremely fortunate to still have the support of First Baptist Church of Columbia, which continues to be our home for this season.
For Season 17, changes had to be adopted, in part because of COVID-19, but also because we wanted to reflect our current social climate including Black Lives Matter, and improve our programming content to the best of our abilities. Our formal statement against racism can be found here: https://conta.cc/2UeyvWt
We also recognize the need for music and musicians in our lives, here in our community, has never been greater. We look forward to sharing our plans with you very soon. Our most recent e-newsletter can be found here: https://conta.cc/31WN5F5
Please take care, and hope to see you soon!
