New Year News & a New Look

Greetings from all of us at Classical Up Close from this newly designed website. You'll find all the same info here as our old site, with a fun new logo (more about that below).

​2018 was a wonderful year for our mission. We reached more people than ever, and found new ways to bring classical music to those who may have never experienced it. Our new Pop-up Performances have given us an opportunity to play for underserved communities, and we have more in store for 2019 (more details about that in January).

The big news is that the dates and times have been set for all of the Spring festival’s performances, and you are the first to know. While we haven’t firmed up the programs for these concerts, we can confirm the following:

Our 2019 Festival of Free Performances: 

EVENING CONCERTS - all 7:30 pm
    •    April 23, St. Mary’s (NW Portland) with Suzanne Nance
    •    April 24, Mt. Scott Park Presbyterian Church (SE Portland)
    •    April 26, German American Society (NE Portland)
    •    April 30, Tigard United Methodist (SW/Tigard)
    •    May 1, Bethany Presbyterian Church (NW/Beaverton)
    •    May 3, Milwaukie Lutheran Church (SE/Milwaukie)

BLITZES

NEW LOGO
Our new logo was inspired by the idea that we are a unique, diverse, fun festival. The three instruments in the logo show the diversity of the music performed and we chose a softer, more playful font for the letters to reinforce the casual nature of our concerts. We are in the midst of producing merchandise with the new logo for the Spring festival, and we can't wait to show you the new t-shirts!

Happy New Year!
