Men’S Chorus Performs Tonight

Thu., June 3, 1999

William Berry Correspondent

The Inland Northwest Men’s Chorus is presenting its 11th annual spring concert tonight at The Met.

Director David Denman Smith and the 20-plus member volunteer chorus have put together an entertaining collection of swing classics under the title, “Swing Fever.”

In commemoration of Duke Ellington’s centenary, the chorus will perform a medley of his hits, including “Satin Doll,” “Caravan” and “Mood Indigo.”

Their five-member break-out group, Xtension, will perform some numbers a capella, but the full chorus will have some backup help in the swing department from drummer Rick Westrick and string bassman Eugene Jablonsky.

The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the door or $12 in advance, available at G&B Select-a-Seat outlets or call (800) 325-SEAT.
