Arts Series: A Musical Mix of Jazz, Classical,
Bluegrass, Flamenco Dance and A Cappella Male Vocals
The Port Ludlow Arts Council is pleased to announce its fifteenth annual season of Performing Arts in Port Ludlow. The seven concerts in the 2006-2007 series will be held at the Bay Club and showcase performers from British Columbia, the United Kingdom, northwest Washington and Calgary, Alberta. The result is an eclectic mix that includes a salute to jazz singers of the swing era, an a cappella male quartet, string swing ensemble, light-hearted classically-trained piano trio, bluegrass band, a Flamenco evening of dance and music—plus a Christmas concert featuring some of Seattle’s top jazz artists.

Hot Club Sandwich, String Swing
One
of the most vibrant
emerging acoustic bands on the West Coast, this ensemble captures the spirit of
the hot jazz string bands of early 20th century Paris. Performing from
San Francisco
to Seattle, New
York to Fargo, they’ve appeared at clubs and colleges, festivals and farmers
markets, theaters and ballrooms, as well as subways and street corners. They’ll
be here Sunday, January 21, at 3:00 p.m.

These
five seasoned musicians from northwestern Canada create a fresh sound while
staying true to the roots of bluegrass and old-time music. Appearing
Saturday, February 10, 8:00 p.m., they’ll present an intimate evening of
original and traditional music featuring lush vocal harmonies coupled with
mandolin, fiddle, dobro, banjo, guitar and doghouse bass in a believable and
honest sound.

The Joe Trio
It’s not often you
encounter three
classically-trained musicians, all professional symphonic performers, who dare
cross the line from classical works to popular, jazz,
and rock—certainly not your average piano trio! Making appearances in
Canada and
throughout the States this threesome will exhibit its versatility, humor, and
unpredictability in a diverse concert on Saturday, March 10, at
8:00 p.m.

Fiona Malena, Flamenco Dancer
The
season finale is Saturday,
April 21,
at 8:00 p.m.,
with a fiery flamenco dancer, full of vitality and
passion, appearing with her own ensemble. Trained in
Spain, she has
been inspired and taught by great masters and gypsy artists. Fiona expresses the
raw emotional intensity of flamenco that both challenges boundaries yet remains
steeped in the tradition of the art.
