Nehalem St. All interested persons, 21 years of age and older, are invited to attend the event, which is being held on the 90th anniversary of the origi- nal grand opening of the his- toric I.O.O.F. building. The building was designed by prominent Oregon architect Ernst Kroner and was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 2012. The celebratory evening will include a full-course din- ner with a choice of entrée — prime rib, stuffed pork chop or vegetarian fettuccine. Dancing to live music provided by the Bob Nelson Band will be featured from 7 to 10 p.m. New York City’s celebration will be live- streamed on the ballroom’s large screen, and as the ball drops in Time Square, a complimentary champagne toast will be served at 9 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. Attendance is limited to 100 people. Cost is $50 per person. Reservations are required and may be made by calling Elsa at 503-728-3403. The Clatskanie River Inn is offering a special rate for overnight accommodations for those attending the New Year’s Eve Ball. Call 503- 728-9000 to make reserva- tions. CANNON BEACH — A free piano recital performed by Portland composer, enthno- musicologist, and concert pianist Aszemar Glenn will be offered to the public at 4 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17 at the Cannon Beach Commu- nity Church, located at 132 E. Washington St. The program includes a mix of classical and jazz compositions. Ragtime music will be represented by “Elite Synco- pations,” a 1902 piece by the “King of Ragtime Writers” Scott Joplin, who is also known for writing and per- forming the archetypal rag- time tunes “The Entertainer” and “Maple Leaf Rag.” Glenn will also perform an original piece, “Tippin’ My Hat,” that he wrote and dedicated to Joplin. Preludes by Gershwin, Rachmaninoff and Bach will showcase the piano form the 20th, 19th and 18th centuries. Also on the program is the jazz standard “Blue Rondo A La Turk” by the Dave Brubeck Quartet with its Turkish aksak-inspired rhythms; explorations of portraying a scene with sound with “The Snow is Dancing” by Debussy and “Allegro Barbaro” by Bartok; and the well-known “Sonata Pathétique” by Beethoven. Glenn will also perform the original piece “First Ara- besque,” which he wrote for and dedicated to his friend Jan Wahrmund.
