The North Coast Choral Artists, led by artistic director Rachel Samet, will present a distinctive and inspiring choral program. Designed for experienced choral singers, NCCA is able to achieve a very high level of artistry within an intensive two-week rehearsal time. The concert is inspired by its moving final piece, “The Promise of Living,” which comes from Aaron Copland's opera "The Tender Land." The piece embraces themes of harvest, tradition, and community, and these sentiments can be heard throughout the concert in diverse works by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Joan Szymko, Susan LaBarr, Sarah Quartel, and more.
We noticed that a lot of places in Ashland do something cool for First Friday. So, sure, we'll be followers this time.
We're calling it First Friday Flights! Or maybe we're calling it the Empanada Throwdown!
Either way, it's a music, food, and wine event that you should definitely join! Here's the deal:
Freshly made local empanadas from Caba EmpanadasLovely fall wines from Resistance Wine Co (that's us!)
You could pretty much hang out all day if you want. But if you just want to pop in for a few empanadas/pours, you could have plenty of time left to visit all the other galleries.
Also, we have some art so you don't just have to look at that weird friend you invited... But, still, bring your friends.
$20.00 Wine tastings + whatever an empanada cost in 2025.
