Tree City Chamber Players presents “Winter Serenades,” chamber music works for flute, oboe, violin and piano by Mozart, Beethoven, Kenji Bunch, and more.

The program will also feature short works for solo piano composed and performed by TCCP pianist Chad Spears. Two Boise performances: Saturday January 10, 3PM, at Red Rock Christian Church (1124 S. Roosevelt St.) and Sunday January 11, 3PM, at Southminster Presbyterian Church (6500 W. Overland Rd.). Donations are welcome at the door. Suggested donations: $25/adult, $15 senior/student, children under 12 are free. We will be donating 10% of proceeds from these concerts to Idaho Concerts in Care, whose vision is to provide professional quality concerts to as many residents in care homes as possible in the Treasure Valley with a scope to expand throughout Idaho.

Learn how to conduct a figure drawing study with a live model using vine charcoal, newsprint and drawing paper. While each standalone session will discuss basic human proportions, composition, value and form, each lesson may focus on a specific topic, including but not limited to: hands, face, torso, foreshortening (lying down), drapery over figure.

Each session, we'll learn about optimal work area set-up, basic materials, and dynamic gestures and measuring techniques. As a group, we will learn from each other by sharing our work and discussing our challenges in brief critiques during breaks for our model.

These figure drawing studies create muscle memory to draw more accurate figures without reference to allow an easier creative flow; practice makes progress!

Watershed Educator, Lisa Decker will present on Water Scarcity and how the Boise River formed.
Please join us on January 13, 2026 at 7:00 PM, Lisa Decker, Boise Public Works’, Watershed Educator will talk about some of the history and the wonderful things they are up to.
“How has water scarcity shaped the place we call home today? Did you know there was a time when the Treasure Valley was underwater as part of Lake Idaho? As it drained and the Boise River formed to cut through the valley, it left behind the “benches” we know of today.
We will explore our ever-changing Boise River Watershed from the headwaters of the Boise River to the valley where most of that water gets distributed. Then we will take a behind the scenes peek at how our used water gets cleaned for our neighbors downriver!”
