Choirs will join
for Christmas conc
The Harstine Island Commu-
nity Choir and the Annas Bay
Community Choir plan a joint el:
fort during the holiday season in-
volving more than 60 voices and
an assortment of accompanists in
a free concert by what may be the
largest volunteer choir in the his-
tory of Mason County.
A program of 21 classic Christ-
mas songs will begin at 3 p.m.
on Sunday, December 16, in the
Shelton High School Auditorium
at 3737 Shelton Springs Road.
Organizers include Elizabeth
Berndt, director of the Harstine
Island Community Choir, and
Matthew Melendez Blegen, direc-
tor of the Annas Bay Community
Choir.
"In a sparsely populated region,
the key is to start small," Berndt
said. "Interested people will come
to an embryonic cultural activ-
ity if" it's convenient. Then, when
there is a system and structure in
place, all sorts of wonderful peo-
ple come out of the woodwork."
Berndt is a conservatory-
trained professional director
with experience at the secondary
school and symphonic levels. She
formed the Harstine Island Choir
in 2004 and has seen it grow to al-
most 50 members ranging in age
from 12 to 83. Melendez Blegen
said the Annas Bay group is open
to all who wish to join on a volun-
teer basis. "The key is to remem-
ber that choral singing is about
the joy of making music together
with others," he said. "Provided
we keep that objective in mind,
things never get hard."
Melendez Blegen has both an
academic and perfbrmance back-
ground in classical music, gradu-
ating magna cum laude from the
master's program of the Univer-
sity of Washington. He has per-
formed with opera companies
from New Jersey to Los Angeles
and has been with the Annas Bay
Music Festival since its inception
last year.
Members of the choirs include
vocalists who also arrange music.
"Ave Maria" is a work of Cathryn
Mecham of Annas Bay that will
be sung by the combined choirs.
"Scarlet Ribbons" as arranged
by Patricia Nutt of the Harstine
choir will be sung by a quartet.
Many of the members of both
choirs have extensive musical
backgrounds, while others are
just beginning to enjoy
rience of singing with oth I
crating without any inc0.
