Genesis to open for Louise Rose

MHCC vocal jazz group Genesis will host the “Genesis Invitational Festival and Concert” Saturday, Nov. 12, in the Visual Arts Theater, joined by special guest performer Louise Rose from Victoria, B.C.

The all-day event will feature performances from eight high school groups: Richland, Parkrose, Fife, Garfield, West Linn, West Salem, Mark Morris and Summit.

The evening events will start at 5 p.m. with Genesis opening for Rose, according to Genesis director Dave Barduhn.

According to lrose.com Rose is a composer, arranger, pianist, vocalist and actress.

Tickets for the Genesis and Louise Rose concert are $5 for students and $10 for general admission.

A previous issue of the Advocate reported that the event would be held Nov. 11, but all activities will be held Saturday because the campus will be closed Friday, Nov. 11, in honor of Veterans Day.
