Overview
The CCC was
started in September 1997 by Toni Mueller and Dr. Mary Lee Scoville to provide the opportunity for Lincoln County residents to perform and enjoy up to eight-part harmony.
In addition to the five choral sections, the CCC features a handbell choir. As a result of generous donations, the CCC now has four octaves of handbells.
The chorale draws its members from many Oregon coast communities including: Waldport, Seal Rock, Newport, South Beach, Toledo, Siletz, Otter Rock, Depoe Bay, Gleneden Beach, Lincoln City, and Neotsu. The chorale presently has more than 60 members, ranging in age from teenagers to "over 80".
The Chorale is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, not affiliated with any church or other organization. Dr. Scoville is the Director, Jill Baker is Assistant Director, and Ramona Martin and Phoebe Horvath are the piano accompanists.
