‘Music Live with Lunch’ back in Sequim on Tuesday

SEQUIM –– Back to help spice up your afternoon, Music Live with Lunch returns from its summer break Tuesday.

Baritone Joel Yelland will present a program of Russian folk songs and spirituals to kick off the annual St. Luke’s Episcopal Church midday meal concert series.

This series offers half-hour concerts followed by a lunch prepared by members of the church.

The program begins at noon, with lunch served at 12:30 p.m. in the parish hall at 525 N. Fifth Ave.

Tickets are $10 and include the meal and music.

Proceeds benefit the church’s ministry to local charities, according to organizer Sammy Greenwood.

Trained at Central Washington University, Yelland has performed around the world, taking starring roles in “Tosca,” “Madame Butterfly” and “The Rape of Lucretia.”

A practicing physician who directs medical operations at the Lower Elwha Health Clinic in Port Angeles, Yelland regularly sings with the Peninsula Singers and Readers Theatre Plus and directs the choir at Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.

Tuesday’s program includes “My Lord,” “What a Morning,” “Katyusha,” “See the Raging Flames Arise,” “Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho,” “There Is a Balm in Gilead,” “Ni Slishna Shumu Gorotskova,” “Ain’t It Good,” “Deep River” and “Wade in the Water.”

Guests may buy tickets at St. Luke’s door.
