GORGE — A new year means a fresh calendar to peruse for all music and entertainment needs. To get you started while it’s still cold and dark out, the Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association (CGOA) has several upcoming performances guaranteed to warm your heart and lift your spirits.
THE GORGE — The Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association’s (CGOA) vocal ensemble, Voci Community Choir, will perform their winter concert “On This Shining Night” three times this holiday season, debuting at Hood River Valley Christian Church on Dec. 12-13 and returning at The Dalles Civic Auditorium on Dec. 14.
ODELL — The Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association’s (CGOA) Gorge Sinfonietta will present its November concert, “Cello Concerto Collage,” at Wy’East Middle School Performing Arts Center on Nov. 14 at 7 p.m., featuring three members in solo roles.
“We found that we missed performing and wanted to give something back to our local community, so we gave a spontaneous porch concert that was well-attended,” read a press release. “That inspired us to keep performing on our porch. ... Those in attendance told us that they were grateful for the opportunity to experience live music during some of the darkest days of the pandemic. The experience inspired us to provide performances in nontraditional settings.”
