October is GIVE METHOW!

A note from Lisa Peters, Cascadia Board President:

Dear Friends,

Now more than ever, we celebrate opportunities to join together, young and old to share the joys of music. Through educational opportunities to inspire a youngster to master an instrument, or bringing our voices together in celebration, we are working to expand our imagination of how music can create community.

Cascadia Music has a 40 year history, touching people with our programs such as the holiday and spring concerts featuring the Cascadia Chorale and Youth and Adult Orchestras, the Christine Cherrington Memorial Scholarship program supporting Methow Valley music students, the Cascadia Music Teachers Collective connecting students with teachers offering instruction in piano, strings, voice, brass and guitar, the Cascadia Instrument Library and Loan Program, and Summer Strings Camp (in partnership with Pam Hunt), and our expanding work with other local arts and education organizations in music education and performance.

We are proud to be a part of this incredibly vibrant musical scene.

As you make your choices of local non-profit organizations to support, we hope you will consider joining us in our mission to create these wonderful opportunities for connection through music.

Hosted by the Community Foundation of NCW, Give Methow’s online campaign runs October 1-31 and supports 50 participating Methow Valley nonprofits at GiveMethow.org and Cascadia's Donations Page can be found at https://cfncw.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/grant?grant_id=99338

Mark your calendars for our Holiday Concert December 8 and 9!

We are making the call to move our 40th Anniversary Picnic in the Park to the MVCC gym.

This morning seemed promising but this afternoon we are seeing deteriorating conditions, including ash. With current air quality considered unhealthy, we just want everyone to be comfortable and enjoy a mini festival of great music, food and drink. If you still want to bring a picnic, please do! We'll set up chairs though so no worries about bringing a chair.

Timing, schedule of performers, and food /beverage options will be the same as planned.

See you tomorrow!

SCHEDULE:

Ace Rickabaugh (classical guitar), 2:00 – 2:20

The Apostles (old time music) 2:40 – 3:25

Meadowlark (strings ensemble) 3:45 – 4:30

Roberto and Rebecca – (acapella duo, opera, classical and some surprises) 4:55 – 5:40

Cascadia Chorale (community chorus) – 6:00 – 6:20

Valley Tones Do Monk – (jazz) 6:45- 7:45
