Preschool music story time
December 2 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
The North Oregon Coast Symphony, Tillamook County Library, and Astoria Public Library have partnered to bring live music and hands-on instrument experiences to local preschool children through stories. The first events will be Monday, December 2nd at 10 AM at the Manzanita Library, and Tuesday, December 3rd at 10 AM at the Charlene Larsen Center for the Performing Arts. Through an enchanting read-aloud text and beautiful artwork, a thrilling and fantastical story of a farmer, a gentle old lady, a dancing dog, and one brave, tiny duckling will warm the heart. NOCS musicians Samantha Kushnick (cello) and Shannon Steele (violin) will accompany the reading of the story. Children will learn more about stringed instruments as the musicians provide demonstrations. Child-sized instruments will be available to examine and play after the story.
This event is free and open to children aged 3-5 and their adults. Â North Oregon Coast Symphony, a non-profit orchestra, brings together musicians from the north Oregon and south Washington coast to perform classical music for local audiences.
