an Octet Plus Spring Benefit Concert at Summerlea, with the proceeds going to the Summerlea organ replacement fund. The Octet Plus choir, a semi-professional ensemble directed by Alan Daye and accompanied by Summerlea's music director Connie Osborne, presented works by Aaron Copland, Billy Joel, John Rutter, Oscar Peterson and others in a wonderfully varied mix of music, from soulful to joyous. Mr. Daye requested that flash photos not be taken during the performance, so following are a few photos of the group, taken during the concert without flash. |
Couldn't get them all in one photo. Several Summerlea folks were among the singers.
In the first photo, Sheila Hébert second from left in the first row,
and Mel Cockhill second from right in the last row.
In the second photo, Marion Golden and Janet Smart at right in the front row.
And the whole gang in the third photo, by Linda Rodd.
