David Michael and Ann Lindquist will give a Candlelight Concert at Port Townsend’s Trinity United Methodist Church on Thursday evening.

PORT TOWNSEND — “Two Worlds of Harps” is the theme of this month’s Candlelight Concert, featuring harpists David Michael and Nancy “Pinky” Dale and flutist Ann Lindquist, on Thursday evening.

Dale will bring her modern-style grand concert harp and Michael will play his ancient-style Celtic instrument at the 7 p.m. performance at Trinity United Methodist Church, uptown at 609 Taylor St.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., and admission will be a suggested $10 donation for adults. Children are admitted free to Candlelight Concerts, while any proceeds go to support local charitable organizations and Trinity United Methodist’s music and historic Victorian restoration programs.

Refreshments offered

Refreshments will be served following the performance.

This is the first time Dale, who lives in Quilcene, has played for a Port Townsend audience.

On some of her pieces, she’ll have accompanist Terry Reitz beside her on Trinity’s Czechoslovakian Petrof grand piano.

Dale has played the harp for over 60 years, including performances in five-star restaurants and hotels in the Portland, Ore., area.

Her program at this debut concert will range from classical and sacred music to pop numbers tailored to the contemporary harp.

Michael and Lindquist, meanwhile, specialize in world fusion music. As students of both Western classical music and other styles from around the globe, they seek common ground among the genres.

On Thursday night, the duo will offer original compositions to include Michael’s “Return of the Magicians,” in which they draw on Middle Eastern scales and influences from the Far East.

For more details about this and future Candlelight Concerts, held on the third Thursday of each month, phone Dan Purnell at 360-774-1644.
