Calling all Methow Valley singers and musicians!
Have you always wanted to sing in a choir? Do you play an instrument and read music? Do you want to join a fun, collaborative, and supportive ensemble for music making? Cascadia Music’s 2025-26 season of the Cascadia Chorale and Pipestone Orchestra offer two no-audition community music making opportunities for all!
The Chorale and Orchestra will be joined by the youth orchestra in concert at the Cascadia Music Holiday Concerts on Tuesday and Wednesday Dec 9 and 10 at 7:00.
Participants range in age from 12-86, and hail from all corners of our valley community. Our chorale and orchestra concerts are our most widely attended and anticipated of the year, hosting roughly 500 folks, over two days.
TO JOIN THE CHORALE: Dana Stromberger, Chorale Director, will host an introductory session Monday, September 15th at 6:30 at the MV United Methodist Church, to chat, distribute music packets, and do a rough sing-through of the pieces to give you an idea of the program. We highly recommend coming to this if you can. Weekly Chorale Rehearsals begin Monday, September 22 from 6:30-8:30 PM at the MV Methodist church, located at 193 Old Twisp Hwy S # B, Twisp, WA 98856.
TO JOIN THE ORCHESTRA: Terry Hunt, Orchestra Director for the 25-26 Holiday Concert will host the orchestra’s first weekly session on Thursday, September 25 6:30 – 8:30 in Room #3 of the Methow Valley Community Center and meets weekly thereafter until the performance. Terry says, “We welcome novice, practiced, and semi-professional players alike to this educational and community-based experience… if you’re not sure, just come, check it out, and see how you feel!”
