North Coast Synphonic Band: "Epics and Adventures"

Join the North Coast Symphonic Band on an Epic Adventure The program “Epics and Adventures” opens the 46th season for the North Coast Symphonic Band Sunday, Nov. 9, at the Liberty Theatre. From Rossano Galante’s “Mt. Everest” to Ralph Vaughan Williams’ “Sea Songs,” the concert features an array of music “to transport listeners to fantastic places near and far,” said conductor and musical director Terry Dahlgren. The band will also take audiences on a road trip coast to coast across the United States, from “The Sidewalks of New York” to San Francisco - where Tony Bennett left his heart, in his signature song. Get ready for a cinematic adventure for your ears! Doors open at 1 p.m. and the Trolley Stop Combo will provide prelude music starting at 1:30 p.m. The band encourages audiences to purchase admission tickets in advance for $15 at the Liberty Theatre Box Office from 2 to 5:30 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays or online at www.libertyastoria.showare.com. Tickets purchased the day of the concert are $20. High school students are admitted free; admission for middle school students and younger is free with a paying adult.
