Only 24 choral groups were selected from around the world. The North Coast Chorale, although not one of the 24, was invited to participate in a special group during the irst ses- sion. “It is an incredible opportunity to represent Astoria in a world choral symposium, and the North Coast Chorale is honored to be invited,” said Denise Reed, who has been the group’s music director since 2006.
