Men’s Gospel Singers host concert

The Peninsula Men’s Gospel Singers will present its 16th annual spring concert at 3 p.m. Saturday, April 6, at the Port Angeles High School Auditorium, 304 E. Park Ave. The theme of this year’s program is titled “Not Ashamed.” An Isaac Watts hymn powerfully arranged by Dan Forrest, this inspirational work expresses conviction, hope and promise.

The program opens with Shane Beeson presenting three of his own compositions, “Mountain of the Lord,” “Closer Still” and “Awesome God.” The choir will start off singing “I Am Persuaded,” “Jesus Paid It All” and continues with many favorites as well as some wonderful new pieces like the energetic and joyful “Silence The Stones” and the beautifully soothing “Pacem.”

The lively and varied program will feature Mike McBride singing an inspirational, solo version of “Love Changes Everything.” Craig Buhler will be adding flute and clarinet accompaniment to several numbers and playing in a combo of instrumentalists from the choir with “Just A Closer Walk With Thee.”

It’s always wonderful to hear hundreds of voices join in a sing along of “Amazing Grace.” Karen Coles will provide sign language interpretation for deaf and hard of hearing audience members.
