WEEKEND: Choral concerts to benefit kids food program set for Saturday in Sequim

SEQUIM — The Olympic Peninsula Men’s Chorus will croon during two benefit concerts Saturday at Sequim High School, 601 N. Sequim Ave.

The choral group is a nonprofit organization.

The Harmony Harvest concerts, as they are known, are scheduled for 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the school auditorium.

Tickets are $15 and available in advance at Port Book and News, located at 104 E. First St. in Port Angeles; and the Olympic Theatre Arts box office, located at 414 N. Sequim Ave.

Tickets also will be sold at the door during the concerts.

Proceeds for program

A portion of the proceeds will go to the Sequim Schools Weekend Food Backpack Program, which provides kids with nutritious food for the weekend when they don’t have access to school lunch programs.

The program is a joint effort between the Sequim School District and the Sequim Food Bank.

According to Andra Smith, Sequim Food bank executive director, it costs about $7 per weekend to provide each student with the food they need.

About 150 students receive weekend meals during the school year.

During the concert, the Olympic Peninsula Men’s Chorus will sing “Live Til I Die,” “Hooked On A Feeling,” “Duke of Earl,” “Home on the Range” and “When I’m 64.”

In addition to the Olympic Peninsula Men’s Chorus, which performs in the barbershop style, quartets “No Batteries Required” and “No Batteries Revised” will take the stage.

Special guests, “The Lorentzens,” also will make an appearance.
