PORT TOWNSEND — Pianist Lisa Lanza will bring together the cream of Port Townsend’s young musicians and some of their equally talented elders to present a Memorial Day weekend concert in support of 15 Ugandan AIDS orphans.
The concert will be at 4 p.m. Sunday at Grace Lutheran Church, 1120 Walker St.
Pieces include Boccherini’s “Polish Dance,” Bruch’s “Violin Concerto No. 1 in G Minor,” Ravel’s “J’eau Deux,” Brahms’ “Sonata No. 1 in E minor for Cello and Piano” and traditional Zimbabwean music.
Performers include Marley Erikson, violin; Odette Jennings, piano; Rinnah Becker, violin; Jeni Little, Jim Espensen and Don Fristo, guitars and vocals; Madelyn Kowalski, cello; and Lanza, piano, joined by the Yesango Marimba Ensemble with friends.
All proceeds from the concert go to support 15 AIDS orphans in a remote part of Uganda.
These children, sponsored by Grace Lutheran Church, are totally dependent for their educations on the generosity of Port Townsend-area residents.
A $12 donation is suggested.
