The South Sound Saxophone Ensemble will present a benefit concert for V.I.B.E.S. at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Vashon High School Theater.

The ensemble, formed in 2015 and conducted by Erik Steighner, features over 20 musicians playing soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, and bass saxophones. McMurray and VHS Jazz bands will also perform.

The program will feature works by J.S. Bach, Steven Bryant, Paul Hindemith, Darius Milhaud and Jean Sibelius.

V.I.B.E.S. is a nonprofit organization that supports band education at McMurray Middle School and Vashon High School. It raises money through donations and fundraisers to pay for expenses related to band programs not covered by the school district’s budget. Expenses can include field trips, honor band and contest fees, master’s classes, band T-shirts and other activities and materials that enhance the learning experiences of the band students.

“The ensemble is excited to present its first performance off the Pacific Lutheran University campus,” said Steighner. “With so many teachers and recent college graduates in the group, we leapt at the chance to support a local music program with our playing.”

Suggested donation is $10 at the door. Proceeds will support the schools’ music programs through V.I.B.E.S. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
