PORT ANGELES — A romantic afternoon concert, laced with the poetry of Rumi, Lorca and Pablo Neruda, will come to the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, 1203 E. Lauridsen Blvd., this Sunday.

Andre Feriante, who has played guitars and ukuleles at the fine arts center on several occasions, this time will bring his new love: the nylon-stringed banjo, which he says sounds like an Old World lute.

Admission to Feriante’s 2 p.m. concert, titled “Poetry of Strings,” is $20, or $15 for members of the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center.

Tickets are available via www.PAFAC.org now, and any remaining will be sold at the door.

Variety of genres

On his various stringed instruments, Feriante will offer flamenco, jazz standards, Italian songs and his own original music; the concert will also feature his signature song-poems, poetry spoken over a bed of music.

For those who find themselves thirsty for more, Feriante will have his CDs, such as “Novella,” “Ukulele Mosaic” and “Beatles Masquerade,” available for purchase at the concert.
