American Traditional & Folk Music
with the Clatsop County Children’s Chorus
CCC Performing Arts Center
Saturday May 16, 7 pm & Sunday May 17, 2 pm $10
The Chorale’s spring concert of American Traditional & Folk Music is not to be missed: hear standards such as
Native American Prayer, Down by the Riverside, America the Beautiful, Simple Gifts, Country Style, and Beautiful Dreamer.
The Clatsop County Children’s Chorus, founded by Dr. Reed in 2013, will be joining NCC for this concert.
The North Coast Chorale is celebrating its 25th anniversary season! The popular local ensemble first came on the scene back in 1990 with Matt Hardin as conductor. He, along with other past NCC music directors, returned to conduct portions of the NCC’s 20th anniversary concert in 2010. Dr Denise Reed has conducted the group since 2007.
In keeping with American Traditional theme, quilts will be contributed for PAC lobby décor during this concert by a quilting group at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Seaside; they will be for sale with proceeds going to the food bank. Other decorations at the PAC will be quilts, some family heirlooms, on loan for the event.
Dr Reed says “the North Coast Chorale has a varied and sophisticated repertoire of music of numerous genres. Our goal is to present the best of choral music with an emphasis on quality and authenticity.”
