The North Oregon Coast Symphony will begin its 2024-2025 season with two concerts in November. Titled “Grand Openings,” this series offers several classical pieces that were originally intended as preludes to larger works such as operas, including Dvorak’s Hussite Overture, Rossini’s La Gazza Ladra (The Thieving Magpie) Overture, and Poet and Peasant Overture by Franz von Suppé. In another grand opening, Dylan Morrow, a senior at Astoria High School this year, will be the soloist for the first movement of Edward Elgar’s Cello Concerto, Op. 85.
The first concert will take place on Saturday, November 9, at St.
Catherine Episcopal Church (36335 N. Hwy 101, Nehalem, OR)
