There’s a lot to like at ‘Gusto!’

Chords ringing and foot tapping is what you can expect at “Go for the Gusto!” concert from the Oregon Coast Chorus of Sweet Adelines this Saturday, Oct. 12 at First Presbyterian Church of Newport. 

This fall show is a fund-raiser to help the quartet get to the international competition in Kansas City. Guests are encouraged to browse the silent auction baskets and buy restaurant certificates from the gift tree.

The concert will feature the Sweet Adelines performing their competition set as well as songs from the Barbershop community of Newport. The lineup will feature Oregon Coast Chorus under the direction of Mary Mamer, Coastal Aires under the direction of Jim Hoover and three quartets from those choruses:  Wind Chimes, Lifted and What Four.

Barbershop singing is known for its ringing chords and producing the notes without instrumental accompaniment. The Oregon Coast Chorus is open to women from aged 14 to 90. The Coastal Aires is a mixed-gender chorus.

The doors open at 2 pm at First Presbyterian Church of Newport, located at 227 NE 12th Street in Newport. Tickets are $15 and are available by emailing tickets@oregoncoastchorus.org or at the Oregon Coast Chorus page on Facebook.
