WESTMINSTER WEST — House Blend, a Saxtons River-based a cappella chorus, will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a concert on Saturday, Nov. 12, at the Congregational Church of Westminster West.
The self-led chorus, composed of experienced singers from local communities, will share songs from many cultures and traditions. The anniversary concert will include some of the group's favorites from their years singing together, according to a news release.
Joining House Blend at this concert will be guest artist Peter Blanchette of Northampton, Massachusetts. Blanchette plays an 11-string archguitar, which he invented so that he could play Renaissance lute music on a guitar. Blanchette's repertoire spans medieval to contemporary to ethnic music. Internationally known, he has performed at the Kennedy Center and on “Prairie Home Companion.”
The concert will start at 7:30 p.m. Following the concert, the audience is invited to join the musicians for cake to honor House Blend's 10th anniversary. Suggested donation is $10.
