Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association is staring a new monthly music series called Music from the Global Village. Association artistic director Mark Steighner says the inspiration for the series came from an online class he taught on world music. The first concert will be this Sunday featuring Boka Marimba performing music from Zimbabwe and southeastern Africa. It will take place at 2 p.m. outdoors at Hood River Valley Christian Church. No tickets are required, but donations will be accepted.
