Summer is coming and the Cascade Chorale has a concert for you full of fun, toe-tapping, ear worm inducing music to help kick off your sunny season. To also help celebrate the completion of their first full year of in-person concerts post-pandemic, Director James Knox has pulled together an engaging line up of music that travels from Scotland and Ireland, has roots in the grand literature of Victor Hugo, sails across the pond to the heartland of American folk, gospel and spirituals, and soars through great musical theater and movie themes. You do not want to miss hearing amazing tunes from wonderful musicians from right here in our local community. This concert is free to everyone with donations gratefully accepted to support our programs.
The Cascade Chorale, as the flagship chorus of the Central Oregon community, is dedicated to making choral music accessible to everyone. The funds raised by the annual Holiday Magic concerts in December help ensure that the Chorale’s winter and spring concerts can be offered free of charge. The Chorale is made possible by the music department at Central Oregon Community College. Our members range from experienced choristers who have sung with the Chorale for decades, as well as members that have just recently graduated from high school. The Cascade Chorale has been under the direction of James Knox since 2004.
The Cascade Chorale Association (“CCA”) is a 501(c)3 organization which provides financial and organizational support to Cascade Chorale. CCA’s mission is to make choral music accessible to everyone in the Central Oregon community. Our concerts are an enormous logistical and financial undertaking but, despite the cost of hiring supporting musicians, renting venues, and undertaking other community projects, in 2012 we stopped charging admission to our concert-goers for the winter and spring events. We now rely solely on donations to fund most of our operations. Your tax deductible donation or sponsorship will help us to continue to bring beautiful choral music to Central Oregon. Please consider giving us your support today.
