Come hear Cascadia help “Portland’s Choir” celebrate their 50th anniversary with two new works: Lisa Neher‘s “Three Basho Haiku” and William Whitley‘s “Ecclesia,” which was written to celebrate another 50th anniversary, that of the Pietro Belluschi-designed First Presbyterian Church in Cottage Grove, Oregon. The theme of the concerts is “To Friends Old & New”, and seasonal selections include Benjamin Britten, “Hymn to the Virgin” and movements from “Ceremony of Carols,” Ola Gjeilo’s arrangement of “The First Nowell,” Morten Lauridsen’s “O Magnum Mysterium” and Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “Wassail,” among others.
