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.
