How Can We Keep From Singing?
Our Mission: North Coast Chorale is a welcoming, community-based, non-profit organization dedicated to the presentation of great choral literature that is diverse and inclusive. The Chorale is committed to the promotion of music education and fostering equity in all aspects of community involvement.
How the Chorale is Funded
COMMUNITY DONATIONS
About 30% of the NCC operating revenue is received by generous donations from YOU, the people of Clatsop County.
CONCERT TICKETS
NCC presents two unique performances each year that are entertaining, educational and enriching. Each draws from a variety of music genre. About 30% of the NCC operating revenue is received from ticket sales.
MEMBERSHIP DUES
The NCC singers are like a family; learning, laughing, and sharing their talent with the community. About 30% of operating revenue comes from membership dues.
Rehearsals are Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at the Larsen Center on the corner of 16th and Franklin Streets in Astoria. The Fall season begins on the second Tuesday in September and runs through the end of December. The Spring season begins on the second Tuesday in January and culminates with the May concert. Dues are $30 per month.
