The spring concert, titled “Irving Berlin Meets Uncle Sam,” will include a number of patriotic songs as well as old favorites that people enjoy singing or humming along with. Irving Berlin wrote hundreds of songs, many becoming major hits, which made him a “legend” before he turned 30. During his 60-year career, Berlin wrote an estimated 1,500 songs, including the scores for 19 Broadway shows and 18 Hollywood fi lms, with his songs nominated eight times for Academy Awards. The concert will be held Sunday, May 1, beginning at 2 p.m. at the Florence Events Center. Tickets are $10 for adults, with attendees age 18 and younger admitted free. In addition, new Community Chorus of Florence director Jennifer Weier will make her debut during the spring concert. Having moved to Florence in December of 2015, Weier quickly became emeshed in the local music scene. In addition to directing the Chorus, Weier, an accomplished pianist, also provides accompaniment for local church choirs and the Flotones. A publication of the Siuslaw News.
