Sisters Return to Bethel United Church of Christ for Benefit Concert

Local musical theater vocalists to present fund raising concert

They’re back! The talented singing sisters who wowed a Music@Bethel concert audience last October with their “Put On Your Sunday Clothes” selections will present another musical extravaganza on Saturday, June 11 at 7:00 pm.

All are invited to attend a benefit concert presented by soprano Felicia Filip Burkovskiy and mezzo-soprano Lara Filip singing some of Broadway’s best-loved songs, including selections from West Side Story, Carousel, Guys and Dolls, The Secret Garden, The King and I, Wicked, Into the Woods, Gershwin and Porter standards and much more. The Filip sisters have promised to reprise the Irving Berlin favorite, “Sisters.”

Concert pianist and Bethel Minister of Music Jeffrey Panko will accompany the singers.
