NORTHPORT ARTS COALITION NEWS

August 7, 2002

On July 14 over 70 people enjoyed the DO-ING MUSIC chamber concert held in
the Northport Library Community Room and sponsored by NAC. Oboe, guitar,
flute, recorder, bassoon, cello, and piano were among the wide variety of
instruments played by truly talented musicians for our delight. We are
looking forward to more! On Friday, October 18th, at 7:30p.m. the NAC's
Do-ing Music fall chamber music event will take place in the Northport
Library . There is clearly an interest in the community for this type of
venue. Both audience and musicians are looking forward to this next event.
There are so many great pieces to be played- the possibilities are endless.
If you have any questions about this exciting music series, call 261-9364.
On Wednesday August 14th, we invite artists and art lovers to join us at
7:30 p.m. in the Northport Library Community Room to discover all the
exciting events and happenings that are underway and to add your ideas and
creativity to our growing organization.
