World musicians to perform Saturday in Port Townsend

Instrumentalist Camelia Jade will perform a unique blend of North and South American styles.

PORT TOWNSEND — The Port Townsend Friends Meeting will host a benefit concert featuring Camelia Jade, a multi-instrumentalist, devoted to acoustic world music from North and South America at 7 p.m. Saturday.

A dessert social is set at 7 p.m. Music will begin at 7:30 p.m.

Jade will perform a blend of North and South American styles on guitar, charango, ronroco or bombo.
