The North Oregon Coast Symphony is a group of lo- cal musicians and volunteers dedicated to providing live classical music to the North Oregon coastal region. The ensemble of 24 local musicians, under the direction of conductor Cory Pederson, will perform portions of Aaron Copland’s Pulitzer-prize winning work “Appalachian Spring.” This composition helped establish a recognizable voice for American classical music, its archetypal sound evoking the vast American heartland. “Quiet City,” another of Copland’s compositions, will also be on the program. This piece was conceived around the idea of a young trumpet player who imag- ined the night thoughts of many different people in a great city and expressed them through his playing. Along with Copland’s works, Norman Leyden’s composition “Serenade for String Orchestra” and Jay Ungar’s “Ashokan Fare- well” will further explore the themes of optimism, hope and freedom. Small ensemble selections will be performed too. The symphony invites all ages to these family-friendly concerts held in an atmo- sphere of peace and harmony. The symphony is looking for string players. If you play violin, viola, cello or string bass and are interested in rehearsing and performing in a local ensemble, contact Pederson at 503-836-2198 or nocscory@gmail.com. If you would like to volunteer in any capacity, call Nancy Giasson at 630-525-0566.
