With a reputation for musical variety and excellence, Living Light School of Worship will host its 8th annual benefit concert, Soundscapes, on Saturday, March 5th.

From the classical music of Windfire, to the jazz-funk from Kal Bergendahl Project, it will be a night of diverse and original instrumental music truly reflecting the event’s name –  Soundscapes. Delicious homemade desserts will be served at the intermission as well.
‘WINDFIRE: Flute & Percussion Spectacular’ is comprised of John and Paula Kasica. The classical duo from St. Louis, Missouri has performed around the country as well as overseas for the past 25 years.

The Kal Bergendahl Project (KBP) is a six-piece instrumental jazz-funk band.  The vibrant unit features some of SE Wisconsin’s most familiar jazz faces displaying extraordinary musicianship and technical precision. Joining Kal for the evening will be: Russ Johnson-trumpet, Ben Olson-alto saxophone, Tony Barba-tenor saxophone, Theo Merriweather-keyboards, Glenn Williams-drums as well as Chris Marvin-guitar and John Pendray-piano.
Blending free-flowing funk and memorable melodies; the ensemble is driven by a stellar horn section. Groove and melodic hooks are weaved in their musical landscape of Jazz-Funk, R&B and Soul. The group has performed throughout the local region since 2005 being showcased at many outdoor festivals, concert halls, and benefits.
