NORTH OREGON COAST SYMPHONY
Bringing live classical music to the North Oregon coast since 1994!
Greetings from the North Oregon Coast Symphony!
NOCS is a non-profit ensemble, under the direction of conductor Cory Pederson, that brings together musicians from the north Oregon and south Washington coast to keep classical music alive and affordable for local audiences.
We have energy, momentum, and exciting plans. Our musician base is steadily expanding, and our rehearsal venue in the old Seaside middle school is attracting more players. In fact, after many years using “The North Coast Chamber Orchestra” to describe our performing ensemble, we have now been able to re-claim our North Oregon Coast Symphony title. This progress would not have been possible without your ongoing support — thank you! We're looking forward to our 2025-2026 concerts, and we hope you are, too.
Upcoming Performances
The North Oregon Coast Symphony continues its 2025-26 season with two concerts in March titled “Adventures in Sound.” The concerts are designed to appeal to children as well as adults, and the program will begin with Serge Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf. This classic children's tale set to music is perfect for introducing young people to the various orchestral instruments, as each character in the story is represented by a musical “voice.” Local favorite Liz Cole, an award-winning stage and TV actor, will return as narrator.
Before the concert begins there will be an instrumental “petting zoo,” an opportunity for children and their adults to play some of the orchestral instruments.
