Barrington church to host flute, guitar concert for ministries
Barrington United Methodist Church presents Duo Alegre in a Flute and Guitar Concert performed by Belinda C. King and Steve Vazquez at 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17.
In this final concert of 2011 in The Sharing Our Gifts Series, the music will range from the opera “The Magic Flute” to a piece composed in memory of those who lost their lives on Sept. 11. The concert will be performed at Barrington United Methodist Church, 98 Algonquin Road in Barrington, corner of Route 59 and Algonquin Road. A fellowship dinner will follow the concert and a freewill offering will be accepted to benefit BUMC’s Hispanic Ministries.
A native of Tampa, Fla., King has performed extensively in Michigan, Florida, Virginia, Illinois and Costa Rica, and earned a bachelor of arts degree in music education at the University of South Florida and a master’s in applied flute performance from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
Vasquez’s love of the guitar began at the age of 11. Currently on the faculties of William Rainey Harper College and The People’s Music School in Chicago, Vasquez was self-taught until he began his classical guitar studies under Steve Suvada at Harper. He then completed his bachelor’s degree with Mark Maxwell at DePaul University and his master’s with Anne Waller at Northwestern University. All are welcome to enjoy the music and fellowship.
