It’s the San Juan Singers this weekend….

The San Juan Singers, led by Angel Michaels, are joined by the the elementary school choir in their show this coming weekend.

Jan over at the Community Theatre says it’s a continuation of the Town’s 100th birthday:

San Juan Singers Present “Our Town. Our Music. Our Lives.”

San Juan Island’s community chorus sings their way through the century on Saturday, April 4 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 5 at 5:00 p.m. at the San Juan Community Theatre.

Led by Angel Michaels, the San Juan Singers share music that dates back to 1900 and all the way through 2001, representing a variety of aspects of life. “Our community has done it all: fishing, fighting, farming and ferrying,” said Michaels. “There’s always a song to sing, through good times and bad.”

Expect to hear folk songs, popular songs and choral classics from such composers as Samuel Barber, Randall Thompson and Irving Berlin. There might even be some animal voices mixed in (the songs of whales, anyone?). And expect to laugh and to reflect.

Featured guests include island flautist Anna Maria de Freitas, harpist Mary WillAllen, the Friday Harbor Elementary School Chorus and That Berlin Bunch stage band.
