Booked for Sunday 25 August, Port Harmony will be joined in performance by the Port Stephens Community Band.

It will be the first joint performance since 2014.

“You can expect Port Harmony’s usual sublime harmonies, however audience enjoyment will be enhanced with the inclusion of Kathryn Dries and the Port Stephens Community Band,” said Irene Haywood of Port Harmony.

“Kathryn was the founder of Port Harmony in 2010 and has been greatly missed since she moved to Sydney.

“She will return as guest conductor and performer and has been injecting her ‘je ne sais quoi’ along the way.”

The Port Stephens Community Band has been in existence since 1993 and is currently led by Michael Hall-Thomson.

“This is an ideal opportunity to showcase the depth of musical talent in the Bay,” Michael said.

“We are delighted to collaborate with Port Harmony on this project.”

Port Harmony President Janice Love is equally enthusiastic.

“I’m so excited about this concert,” Janice said.

“Our audience is in for a real treat with the addition of the band, Kathryn Dries as conductor and performer and a piano solo from our talented accompanist, Alex Hall.”

More details are available on the Port Harmony Facebook page.
