PORT TOWNSEND — On Saturday, the Port Townsend Friends Meeting will present Singers in the Rain, and Muriel Powers live in concert at the Friends Meetinghouse, 1841 Sheridan St.
Saturday’s presentation, the latest in the Meetinghouse Concert Series, begins with a dessert social at 7 p.m. followed by the concert at 7:30 p.m.
There is a suggested donation of $5 to $50 with no one turned away because of inability to pay.
Proceeds benefit the Friends Meetinghouse.
Singers In The Rain is a men’s singing ensemble.
It first formed about six years ago as an eight-week singing class for men.
When the initial eight weeks were completed, the men wanted to continue and Singers In The Rain was born.
The ensemble is co-led by Sydney Keegan, vocal coach, and Hazel Johnson, musical director.
The group continues as a singing class, with Keegan teaching vocal techniques once a week, and Johnson teaching vocal music reading skills.
The group will perform six well-known Beatles songs and one Gospel number from the repertoire they are learning this season.
The second performer of the evening, Powers, performs the autoharp — a kind of zither with a mechanical device that allows the playing of a chord by damping all the other strings — and also sings.
The Port Townsend Friends have invited Muriel back for a repeat performance after being showcased at previous Meetinghouse concerts last Fall.
Muriel will perform rock, country and blues numbers.
