SEACoast, a local nonprofit organi-
zation bringing the performance arts to
Florence, has been bringing entertain-
ment to the Oregon Coast since 1980.
This season’s Coastal Concert Series
includes a diverse array of performers
to appeal to a wide audience. The sea-
son opens with Ballets with a Twist, a
New York City ballet company per-
forming its signature show “Cocktail
Hour” on Oct. 26.
The Black Market Trust will perform
its repertoire of acoustical music with
influences from Frank Sinatra, the
Beatles and the Beach Boys on Nov.
15.
The
New
Year

see
Quattrosound’s return to Florence as
the ensemble fuses classical, pop and
jazz on Jan. 17.
Mandy Harvey, most recently seen
on “America’s Got Talent,” will be on
stage Feb. 21.
The Newport Symphony Orchestra
performs on March 23, with the three
tenors known as Gentri scheduled for
April 19.
The season will wrap up with the
voices of the quartet Vivace on May
24.
“We’re very excited about the lineup
for our new season,” said Karen
Smales, vice-president of the
SEACoast Board and its program
director. “The feedback for our last
season was so positive from our audi-
ences, we really used that to energize
our selections for the 2017-18 series.
“Along with exciting new talent,
we’re pleased to be able to respond to
the requests of the community and
bring Quattrosound to open the sec-
ond part of our series in January.”
Season ticket subscriptions are $160
for all seven shows in the series along
with first choice on reserved seating for
performances.
Single performance tickets are $32
per adult, $10 for those under 18 and
are on sale now.
More information on the Coastal
Concert Series performers is available
