For the Birds...

First Congregational United Church of Christ

1126 SW Park Ave • Portland, OR 97205

Time to break out of the cage and sing! As the blush of spring appears, so too does nature’s song. Soar from bough to bough with us on this bountiful flight of fancy. Take wing as we explore musical settings inspired by our feathered friends.

This season’s closing concert, as you’ve come to enjoy, features the intimate side of Consonare Chorale in small ensembles and solos, as well as the full choir in the pristine setting of Stanford’s “The Bluebird.” Be swept away by Mendelssohn’s “Die Nachtigall,” bemused by the unexpected twists in “Alouette”and be tickled by mountain dulcimer, fiddle and bass inviting you to the barn dance “Turkeys & Badger’s.”

FREE OUTREACH TICKETS are available to high school & collegiate music students.

New “FANS” of Consonare’s FACEBOOK page will be entered in a drawing for a pair of FREE season tickets.
