Candlelight Concert - Lee-Alison Sibley

For the Birds

Trinity United Methodist’s Candlelight Concerts is delighted to host Lee-Alison Sibley, a local and international vocal artist, who will be performing at the Candlelight Concert series at Trinity United Methodist Church on Thursday, February 26 at 7:00 PM for one set with no intermission. 

The performance will also be streamed live at https://trinityumcpt.org/concerts where you will find a link for the Candlelight Concerts Online and ways to donate. The concert will also be simulcast on KPTZ FM 91.9. 

Admission to the concert is free (really!), with a suggested donation of $15 per person. You are most welcome to attend whether you choose to donate or not. Half of the proceeds from this concert will go to the Lee-Alison’s chosen charity, Friends of Public Health.  Jefferson County Public Health addresses community needs by providing education, access to health care, vaccines, disease investigation, and much more in their effort to support the population health of Jefferson County. 

The program’s theme “For the Birds” will especially delight bird enthusiasts as all the musical selections feature references to our feathered friends, ranging in songs from the 1600’s through the 1900’s and includes audience participation. 

Lee-Alison Sibley has performed internationally for five decades. She holds degrees in vocal performance from Boston University and the Manhattan School of Music and a Master of Education from George Mason University. Having sung everything from folk to Broadway to opera in a variety of languages, Lee also recorded the songs of Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore on her album “The Distant Near.” In addition to her career as a vocal artist, Lee is an author of a memoir, “Jordan’s Jewish Drama Queen” and a teacher, actor, and social activist. She represented the U. S. Department of State in singing tours in Asia and the Middle East. For her work helping develop education in underserved communities, she was awarded “Woman of the Decade” in 2017 at the Women’s Economic Forum in New Delhi, India. She has always used her voice to serve her philosophy, “tikkun olam” --heal the world-- and performed locally at Turtle Bluff for their scholarship drive and in 2025 for Black History Month at the United Methodist Church in Port Hadlock. 

Lisa Lanza will be accompanying Lee-Alison Sibley’ performance. Lisa has been performing as a solo artist and collaborator for over 20 years on the Olympic Peninsula and in the Seattle area. Some of her most memorable solo concerts include Music at Albignac in France, and at the Hebden Bridge Piano Festival in the UK. In 2017 she was voted "Best Musical Performer of Jefferson County". She studied with internationally renowned pianists Maria Joao Pires in Portugal and Paul Roberts at The Guildhall School of Theater and Arts in London. A Seattle native, Lisa lives in Port Townsend where she is pianist with the Rainshadow Chorale.
