Spring Season 2025
CRS RETURNS!
Hello everyone!
I hope you have all had a wonderful holiday season, and are enjoying the beautiful blue and sunny skies as January comes to an end. The Columbia River Symphony will be starting our Spring 2025 season on Saturday, February 8th, 2025. This season our concert theme is titled “The Heart’s Symphony.” The focus will be on the living melodies within musical selections that exhibit the different emotions of the heart.
Rehearsal Location: Astoria High School (1001 W Marine Dr. - Astoria, OR 97103)
Rehearsal Time: 10:00am—Noon
Sheet Music: All sheet music selections will be handed out to musicians, with a CRS folder, at the first rehearsal. If you are unable to attend the first rehearsal, please send an email and let me know, and we will hold onto your folder until you arrive. (Email: CRSMusicians@gmail.com).
Rehearsal Dates: February: 8th, 15th, 22nd; March: 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th;
April: 5th, 12th, and 19th (Dress Rehearsal)

Music Audio Selections: https://www.columbiariversymphony.org/music-selections (Please click the links to hear the audio examples of the music for this season.)
CRS Musician Recruitment: We continue to be in need of string players for this ensemble…specifically violins and violas. However, we will always accept cello and bass players. We also need more French horn, trombone, and low brass players in general. If you know anyone that plays these instruments, and would be interested, please reach out to them and invite them to rehearsal! Below is a recruitment flyer that has been sent out through social media. Please feel free to share this flyer though virtual or print means. If you utilize Facebook, consider sharing our recent ‘Recruitment Flyer.’ Thank you!
Cruise Ship Performances: More information will be shared out to those that have responded to the cruise ship/river cruise ship performances. We have enough musicians to move forward, and information will be shared out over the next couple of months as we move closer to the July 4th and August 28th dates.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this message. I look forward to seeing you all for our upcoming season of the Columbia River Symphony. Do take care, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
