After two stellar concerts in November and February, Sunday at 3!, Ladner United Church's concert series, will close its first season with Songs My Grandma Taught Me, an afternoon of glorious music by local singer/teacher/actress Tracy Neff.
The event is set for Sunday, April 3. Neff is well known in Delta. She received her training at the Boston Conservatory of Music, where she graduated with a BFA in Music and Theatre. Since that time, she has been a featured performer with the Boston Pops Orchestra and sung leading roles across the U.S. and Canada, including at the Chemainus Theatre Festival where she met her future partner in life, Tony Barton.
The concert is focused on the influences of Neff's grandmother, Kathleen Sinclair, who was her first and possibly her "most important" teacher.
She says the concert is "all about the influence my grandmother had on my musical education and my future as a performer and especially a teacher." Neff will be joined by Alan Whitmore, music minister at Ladner United, as her accompanist. The concert will also feature 2016 Delta Idol winner Taylor Dianne Robinson, Stephen Robb, Jonathan Quick and Barton as well as students from the Delta Community Music School and Delta Youth Theatre.
Sunday at 3! also includes a visual art exhibition. For this concert, photography of the Ladner area by Lowell Holland, Catherine Bone and Malcolm Duck will be on display.
Admission is $10 at the door. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. and the concert begins at 3 p.m. Ladner United Church is located at 4960-48th Ave.
