Cascadia Music presents "A Celebration of American Music: A Concert in Honor of America’s 250th" Friday May 8 and Saturday May 9 @ 7 PM at the Methow Valley Community Center Gym. Led by Directors Terry and Pam Hunt, The Pipestone Orchestra, Cascadia Chorale and Pipestone Youth Orchestra will perform an exciting and diverse program of Jazz, orchestral and folk compositions by Gershwin, Aaron Copeland, Paul Simon, Aretha Franklin and others. The concert of will span generations and regions of the United States, with large ensemble pieces as well as solos and small groups. VERY special guests Laura Love (vocals), John Weeks (fiddle) and Brian Alley (banjo) will also be featured during the show.

The spring concert exemplifies Cascadia’s mission to “create connection in a divided world by sharing the joys of music.” With these amazing artists blending with over 30 singers and 35 musicians, ages 12-82, from all walks of our valley community, this event promises to bring smiles, reflections, and perhaps a few tears as we celebrate American music and composers from sea to shining sea.

Beer, wine, non-alcoholic beverages and some snacks will be available for purchase.
