St. Timothy Musicales offers another ambitious and di-
verse line up of noontime performances during October at
St. Timothy Lutheran Church, 395 Valley Rd., Wayne.
Francine Evans (inset) opens the series on Oct. 10 in The
Lady Sings Sinatra. After a medical mishap in 2007 dam-
aged her vocal chords, she teamed up with her husband, pi-
anist Joel Zelnick, and found a new outlet for her creativity
and soon put a new twist on Frank Sinatra classic songs.
On Oct. 17, The Joybells
(above) return to the series and
perform sacred, classical, pop-
ular, Disney and patriotic
songs. This handbell choir was
founded in 1966 and presents
about 30 concerts a year. They
have performed at St. Timothy
Musicales twice before and
three times at the White House.
Performers range in age
from early 20’s to late 50’s.
One ringer has been a member
of the group since its founding.
The 12 members of the Joybells are all residents or atten-
dees of Melmark, a caring community located in Berwyn,
PA. They are part of the Meadows Adult Day Program for
individuals 21 years of age and older.
Closing the series on Oct. 24 is The Da Capo Trio inFrom Bach to Bolling. Flutists Lisa Plasse and Sarah
Dodds, with pianist Caroline Parody, will perform the Trio
Sonata in G major by Bach and Claude Bolling’s Senti-
mentale from his Suite for Jazz Flute and Piano—and
more. Performances begin at noon and are one hour long.
