PORT TOWNSEND — The men’s choral ensemble Singers in the Rain is next up in the Candlelight Concert series at Trinity United Methodist Church, 609 Taylor St., this Thursday.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. concert.
Admission is a suggested $10 donation, while children are invited to come free.
Proceeds benefit Port Townsend charities and Trinity’s music and historic Victorian restoration programs.
The concert will have a “Brits and friends” theme.
That means the singers will offer “Come Again Sweet Love,” a 16th century song by John Dowland; the opening chorus of Gilbert & Sullivan’s “H.M.S. Pinafore” and a generous array of Beatles classics.
Those will include “I Will,” “Because,” “If I Fell” and a sing-along of “Yellow Submarine.”
Songs from this side of the Atlantic will include Pete Seeger’s “Precious Friends,” the Bahamas folk song “The Sloop John B” and “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” in honor of the late Bob Stevenson, who was a member of the ensemble before his death in January.
As always, refreshments will be served after the performance.
