Summer Series Kickoff Tuesday, June 7.




These young women will set your socks hopping and your heart singing as they share "Songs We Love to Sing."  Known throughout the community for their audience appeal and superior musicianship (lft.to rt.)Staci Taylor (Floodwood Art Director), Lenora Evans (Deer River High School Vocal Music Director), Susie Saxhaug Loeffler (Deer River Elementary Teacher), and Katie Benes (Reif Center) have assembled a popular program of their favorite music to showcase "how music makes us whole." Also featured is the fine Deer River A Capella Quartet.  The incomparable Janice Burch accompanies the group.

Mostly secular in nature, the program features two jazzy spirituals.  The repertoire ranges from the spiritual "It's Me It's Me, Oh Lord" and "How Can I Keep But Singing" to "Loathing" with a delightful mix of solo and small group numbers.

Following the free concert is an optional church luncheon for $6.00.  One of the First Lutheran women informs me they serve a mighty fine lunch.  Stay and visit with your friends over another cup of coffee or tea.

The first of a thirteen-summer-concert series the program will be performed at First Lutheran Church in Grand Rapids, MN from 12:00 noon to 12:45. Concerts are funded by generous donations from the audience.
