Tunes of Nostalgia to be heard at Seaport Landing today in Port Townsend

PORT TOWNSEND — A free afternoon of nostalgic music is planned at Seaport Landing as part of Arts to Elders today.

The concert will be from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the retirement and assisted living center at 1201 Hancock St.

Nostalgia, a four-piece instrumental group, will perform music of the 1940s and ’50s for dancing and listening.

The concert is presented in conjunction with the Northwind Arts Center and is sponsored by the Port Townsend Arts Commission.

This will be Nostalgia’s seventh consecutive annual appearance at Seaport Landing.

Pianist Al Harris is a music educator and arranger as well as a performer.

Mark Holman — who plays saxophone, clarinet and flute — is a music educator teacher in the Bremerton Public School District.

Owen Mulkey, who plays percussion and guitar, is a retired aerospace engineer who leads the group.

He also plays for the Dukes of Dabob, the Snowbirds and the Starlight Big Band.

Mary Lou Montgomery, alto saxophone and vocals, has been singing and playing since she was 5 years old.

A former vocal teacher and choral director, she taught music to elementary students in the Chimacum School District for more than 16 years.

In addition to her involvement with Nostalgia, she also directs the Choral Belles.

Arts to Elders is the Northwind Arts Center’s outreach program to connect elderly community residents to art and humanities experiences.

For more information, phone Harvey Putterman, director of Arts to Elders, at 360-379-2620.
