?Styles such as Calypso, the Caribbean Rhythms, the Lucian Flamenco. We will also be incorporating alternative rock styles with the traditional chorale music. So we will have a number of different items done in very innovative, creative ways.?

?The main purpose of this concert, the group Via Vocalite, is to showcase the talent of young people; we have seventeen year old Richard Pitts who will be doing saxophone and clarinet. So we want to showcase and highlight the talents of the young people, so they will be benefiting primarily. But in addition to that, Via Vocalite wants to make a Christmas contribution to a charitable cause and that organisation to benefit this year will be the Dorothy Menzies Child Centre. So we will be taking some toys and some goodies for them this Christmas.?

The concert starts at eight Friday night. Tickets, priced at twenty-five dollars each are available from group members, Mala’s, Venus Photos and Records, and CY’s Music Shop.
