to choir festival
ASTORIA — The North

to Barcelona, Spain, next
summer, and the chorale is
working to recruit at least
30 singers to make the trip.
The choir has received
an invitation to participate
as an external group at the
International Federation for
Choral Music’s 11th World
Symposium on Choral
Music, taking place July 22
to 25.
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.

Choral Music is “colors
of peace,” and the Asto-
ria-based chorale will per-
form a repertoire of songs
about peace at the festival.
The North Coast Chorale
celebrated its 25th anniver-
sary in 2015.
The group supports the
local community in many
ways. For over 10 years the
chorale has co-sponsored
a community “Messiah”
event that raises funds for
the foodbank, and the group
sings by invitation with the
North Coast Symphonic
Band and the Astoria Music
Festival.
The choir also helps
ring in the holiday season
during the annual light-
ing of downtown Astoria
holiday lights, participates
annually at the Santa Lucia
Festival, participated at the
dedication of the Garden
of Surging Waves and the
Harvest Moon Festival,
donate services to beneit
community causes such as
scholarship fundraisers,
and performs at the Clat-
sop Retirement Village
and Clatsop Care Center.
The North Coast Chorale
is also one of the Partners
for the Clatsop Community
College’s Performing Arts
Center.
The chorale will hold
fundraising events to help
offset the cost of the trip for
singers.

SEASIDE — Author and
teacher Deb Vanasse will
teach Revise & Edit, a
four-session workshop at
Beach Books.
In the workshop, writers
who hope to expand their
publishing opportunities
will practice strategies to
notch up the quality of
their writing. They’ll gain
perspective on their drafts
as they revise for intention,
character, structure, fore-
shadowing, theme and tone.
They’ll also practice editing
for language, repetition,
redundancy, clarity, authen-
ticity and continuity.
To guide the process,
workshop participants will
use “The Artful Edit” by
Susan Bell, available for
purchase at Beach Books.
Online resources will sup-
plement weekly workshop
sessions, and an individual
manuscript consultation is
included in the course fee
of $95.
The workshop will take
place from 4:30 to 6 p.m.
Thursdays, beginning Oct.
27 and ending Nov. 17.
