The Saturdays at 7 concert series hosts Denise Pelley, a vocalist from London, to perform her program titled The Power of Music on Nov. 11.

This concert will be presented in the sanctuary of St. Andrew’s United Church. She will be presenting a concert of inspirational songs, stories, and poems focussing on their texts and how they help shape the music.

As it is Remembrance Day, she will also pay honour to the day with music and poetry.

Pelley, a returning performer, will be accompanied by pianist and music director Stephen Holowitz, with Paul Stevenson on the trumpet and percussionist Greg Mainprize.

Pelley’s accolades include performing for the likes of trombonist Ray Anderson, Jackie Richardson, and Jesse Cook. She has opened for Aretha Franklin at the John Labatt Centre in London.

She has performed with symphony orchestras and festivals across Ontario, including jazz festivals in Toronto, Ottawa and Waterloo, as well as many in London.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 11 for the 7 p.m. performance. Donations (suggested $20 per person) will be accepted at the door and will go towards the music program at St. Andrew’s. All are welcome.
