PORT LUDLOW — Victoria Robertson, a singer who has traveled across the world as Miss USO San Diego, will come to Port Ludlow’s Bay Club this Sunday for a concert titled “A Classical Holiday.”

It’ll be a matinee show, a Port Ludlow Performing Arts concert of Broadway music, opera arias and holiday songs. Tickets are $24 — or $10 for elementary school-age children accompanied by adults — for Robertson’s 4 p.m. performance.

The singer, known for her designer evening gowns and soprano voice, was named Miss USO San Diego in 2000, and held the title for seven years, touring Greenland, England, the Netherlands and Germany with Armed Forces Entertainment.

A classically trained vocalist, she’s also sung with the San Diego and La Jolla symphonies and the San Diego and Santa Barbara opera companies, and both sung and danced in musicals such as “Oklahoma!” and “Guys and Dolls.”

On Sunday, Robertson will have Vernon Snyder, music director at the Claremont School of Theology, as her accompanist. Doors will open at 3 p.m. so patrons can visit the bar, choose their seats and see Port Ludlow Artists’ League member Clinton Webb’s watercolor show at the Bay Club.

A landscape painter, Webb finds inspiration in his travels to Europe. He donates all of his art sales proceeds to Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County.

For tickets and information, visit the Bay Club at 120 Spinnaker Place, phone 360-437-2208 or see www.portludlowperformingarts.com.

Although the facility is still an active U.S. Coast Guard station, the equipment is monitored and operated remotely and no keepers are present. Regular tours on Saturdays and Sundays will resume in May. (Steve Mullensky/for Peninsula Daily News)
