FAFF to sponsor concert

The Finnish American Folk Festival group will sponsor another concert at their new Community Center in Naselle on Saturday, September 21, beginning at 6:00 p.m. Food will be served downstairs after the concert and donations will be taken at the door to help offset costs for maintenance and upgrades to the building.

Phil Keim has been a resident of the North Coast since 1977. He has a well-known tenor voice and has sung with the North Coast Chorale and the Cannon Beach chorus for many years. He has given many solo performances and has played parts in local musical productions including “42nd Street” and “Man of La Mancha.” He has also sung the national anthem at the Rose Garden in Portland for the Trail Blazers.

Local Kim Angelis, a world-renowned violinist and local community member, will accompany Keim and share some violin music with the audience.

Jennifer Goodenberger, a popular pianist in the Astoria area, will also return to the area to share some of her talented piano solos.

Mark your calendars for September 21, at the Naselle Community Center, 14 Parpala Road, Naselle.

The concert will begin at 6:00 p.m. with refreshments following downstairs. Performers will also be on hand to sell their CD’s.

Donations will be accepted at the door.
