Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe announces update for 2021–2022 Season line-up

Community Concerts of Rancho Santa Fe is presenting a line-up of world-class entertainment as it kicks off its 21st season in North County San Diego. The all-volunteer nonprofit organization hosts four concerts each season beginning Oct. 1. It is social visiting time with friends and neighbors during pre-concert and intermission. All concerts are held in The Fellowship Hall at the Village Church campus in Rancho Santa Fe. Doors open at 6:15 p.m. All performances begin at 7 p.m.

Minor changes in the concert schedule have been made due to an artist’s schedule conflict. Below is the new schedule that begins now with The Diamonds, which will start off the new season in a fun and energy-charged way. Mark Kingswood is still on the roster and is now the “don’t miss” closing concert. Please note that Kingswood’s concert is on a Thursday.

Community Concerts of RSF has presented a variety of musical talent over the years and this season is no exception.

Friday, Oct. 1, showcases Let’s Rock Broadway starring The Diamonds. In 1957 The Diamonds released an instant million-selling hit called Little Darlin’. The song continues to sell worldwide and has been dubbed “the National Anthem of Rock and Roll”. To date it has sold approximately 20 million copies.
