SEQUIM — The Blue Danube Waltz, “Funiculi, Funicula,” “O Sole Mio” — with such music, it won’t be a typical weekday afternoon at St. Luke’s.
This is thanks to the Port Angeles High School Chamber Orchestra, with maestro Ron Jones, who will offer a noon concert Tuesday in the St. Luke’s Episcopal Church sanctuary, 525 N. Fifth Ave. All community members are welcome.
Tickets at the door are $10 including the concert and the lunch afterward.
In this November episode of the Music Live with Lunch series, the orchestra will play for 30 minutes and then sit down with the audience for a hot meal in the parish hall. The lunch and company are their payment, since the series’ performers all donate their time.
The young musicians, many of whom traveled with Jones last spring to New York City to play at Carnegie Hall, will offer “The Barber of Seville” Overture by Rossini; Di Capua’s “O Sole Mio;” Johann Strauss’ Blue Danube Waltz, John Williams’ theme from “Schindler’s List” and Luigi Denza’s “Funiculi Funicula.”
The featured players are double-bassist Michael Helwick, violists Roisin Cowan-Kuist, Connor Leslie, Leah Haworth and Calista Mordecai-Smith; violinists Genna Birch, Bethanie Johnson, Hannah Sinnes, Marc Henry, Jay Liang, Leah Marsh, Simon Shindler and Hana Kildall; and cellists Trey Hoover, Katherine Haworth, Melanie Schimschal and Daniel Williams.
Music Live with Lunch concert-goers who want to buy tickets in advance may do that at the St. Luke’s parish office between 9 a.m. and noon Monday through Thursday.
More details about this Tuesday’s event and the rest of the series can also be learned by phoning the office at 360-683-4862.
