SEQUIM — The “Stars of Tomorrow,” a benefit concert for the Sequim Guild for Seattle Children’s Hospital, promises to be a showcase of local talent at 7 p.m. Saturday at Sequim Community Church, 950 N. Fifth Ave.

Fifteen-year-old violinist Kate Powers and her older brother, guitarist Ethan Powers, will play, along with flutist Joshua Gershon and pianist Lum Fu, both also 15.

The Lamar String Trio — violist Paige Lamar, 17; cellist Logan Lamar, 15 and violinist Claire Lamar, 13 — are part of the concert, too, as is flutist Tirzah Small, 19.

Craig Buhler, a multi-instrumentalist, music teacher and leader of the Stardust Dance Band, will serve as master of ceremonies for the event.

Admission is $10, with proceeds to benefit the Sequim Guild for Seattle Children’s Hospital’s uncompensated care fund.

Tickets are on sale at Port Book and News, 104 E. First St., Port Angeles, and the Joyful Noise Music Center, 112 W. Washington St. in Sequim.

Funds raised at Saturday’s performance will help the hospital provide health care to youngsters across the Northwest, regardless of their families’ ability to pay.

In 2014 for example, Seattle Children’s provided care to 965 Clallam County children and used more than $1.7 million in uncompensated care.
