NORTH OREGON COAST SYMPHONY

Bringing live classical music to the North Oregon coast since 1994!

Greetings from the North Oregon Coast Symphony!

NOCS is a non-profit ensemble, under the direction of conductor Cory Pederson, that brings together musicians from the north Oregon and south Washington coast to keep classical music alive and affordable for local audiences.

We have new energy, momentum, and exciting plans. Our musician base is steadily expanding, and our new rehearsal venue in the old Seaside middle school is attracting more players. In fact, after many years using “The North Coast Chamber Orchestra” to describe our performing ensemble, we are now able to re-claim our North Oregon Coast Symphony title. This progress would not have been possible without your ongoing support — thank you! We're looking forward to our 2023-2024 concerts, and we hope you are, too.
