A series of matinee music performances sponsored in part by The Tri-City News returns to Port Coquitlam's Terry Fox Theatre this month.
The 13th annual Sunday Coffee Concerts kicks off this weekend at the theatre (1260 Riverwood Gate) with Whiskey Jane, a four-piece country band that features Natalye Vivian on vocals.
The set continues on Feb. 26 with the jazz/gospel sounds of Dalannah Gail Bowen and The Jacksonaires, who will present a tribute to Mahalia Jackson, a well-known gospel singer known for such classics as He's Got The Whole World In His Hands and modern standards like In The Upper Room.
On March 4, the Felice Women's Choir and conductor/director Hyun Jung Kim will take to the stage with special guests.
Later that month, on March 11, the 17-piece Inlet Jazz Big Band will entertain while Maria in the Shower, a folk/roots band steeped in the vaudevillian tradition, will wrap up the series on March 25.
Tickets for Sunday Coffee Concerts are $10/$5 (with free admission for children aged under 12) and can be bought by calling 604-927-8400 or visiting www.experienceit.ca. Subscriber flex passes are also available at $42 for five shows. Audience members can meet with the performers afterwards over coffee.
