Concerts coming up: Sealth Jazz Night; Bells of the Sound

“They take music seriously, but also have serious fun!” says Monica, explaining the photo of Chief Sealth International High School‘s Jazz I group at the recent Mill Creek Jazz Festival. She sent it to accompany this invitation:

Please come join the Chief Sealth community for an evening of Jazz performed by our two Jazz ensembles.

The school’s at 2600 SW Thistle. Another concert just announced :

Bells of the Sound performs at 7:30 pm Friday, December 10th, at Tibbetts United Methodist Church (WSB sponsor):

Choirs singing on the Christmas Ship, ballerinas dancing to The Nutcracker, and rain pattering on an umbrella-these are just some of the sounds of Christmas in the Puget Sound. And bells-what would Christmas be without the sound of bells? Bells of the Sound, the premier handbell group in the Puget Sound, will present The Sound of Christmas, a delightful program that offers a new take on several holiday favorites, including O Come, O Come Emmanuel, Pat-a-Pan and Feliz Navidad. Join us as we ring in the season!

Tibbetts is at 3940 41st Avenue SW; admission is a suggested donation, $10 adults, $8 children/seniors. Adding this one to the WSB West Seattle Holidays page, where several other concert listings await (make sure we have yours!).

I can’t wait to hear the Jazz Band again. Bring your donations- they’re worth it!

I’ve been going to the Christmas Bells of the Sound concerts for years and it was because of them that I began to ring bells in the Sunday bell choir at Tibbetts, where they hold their rehearsals and keep their bells. There’s no better way to welcome Christmas than one of their concerts – they are funny and boy, are they good!!! They also have a Spring concert, much of the music is secular and not something you would ever think could be played on bells. Imagine the theme to Star Wars on bells – it was awesome.

Sorry, comment time is over.
