Peninsula College, PA High groups to take the stage

Peninsula College’s Vocal Harmony, under the direction of Elaine Gardner Morales, invites the public to their upcoming concert at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 7, in Maier Performance Hall, 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles.

Joining the group on stage will be Vocal Unlimited from Port Angeles High School, under the direction of Jolene Gailey, and two-time Grammy nominee Vince Redhouse on jazz flute and saxophone.

The schools decided to team up for a performance when both were forced to cancel their plans to attend the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival in February due to winter weather.

Redhouse will perform several jazz pieces and a few Native American selections on the flute, which received Grammy nominations on his previous LP’s.

Both school groups will be performing the programs intended for Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, as well as solo competition selections. College soloists are: Robbin Eaves (Joyce), Tiara Delatorre, Brandy Wilkins, Andrea Saxe and Brad Alemeo (Port Angeles), Chris Burt and Alondra Franco (Sequim) and Christina Kahout (Forks). Accompanying the group will be Al Harris on piano, Bonnie Booth on conga drums and Ted Enderle on bass.

The event is free and open to the public.
