The Dorothy Rose Smith Concert Series, named for a longtime Highland Presbyterian Church music director, is held at Highland, 500 E. Roseville Road, Lancaster. The series presents four concerts each year. According to current Highland music ministry director Paul Thorlakson, the series kicks off each fall with an organ concert. A second concert is held near Christmas, a third concert is held in the spring, and the choir and an orchestra perform a major work in June. This year, Thorlakson will be joined by friends, including clarinetist Doris HallGulati and vocalists Jeffrey and Abbigail Martin, for “Paul and Friends,” an eclectic concert on Wednesday, March 11, at 7 p.m. The concert, which will include a variety of types of music, will run for 90 minutes with a brief intermission. There is no cost to attend the concert. A

freewill offering will be received. Thorlakson, who has been directing at Highland for a few years, was asked by concert organizers if he would put together a concert. “I said, ‘Yes, but I would like to bring some friends along with me,’” he said, noting that he and Hall-Gulati have been friends for quite some time. “Abbigail and Jeffrey are new friends (of mine) because they just came to Lancaster a few weeks ago,” said Thorlakson, who introduced Jeffrey as a new professor at Lancaster Bible College. Jeffrey and Abbigail met at Johns Hopkins Peabody Institute when they were assigned the same opera to study. “… And the rest is history,” said Jeffrey. “Music brought us together.” The group is looking forward to playing together at Highland. “Highland’s acoustics are wonderful,” said HallGulati. Thorlakson echoed her comments, saying that it will be a good See Concert pg 2

Concert Series To Feature “Paul And Friends”

Chelas Montanye quickly replied, “It (was) totally by accident.” The story of the founding of the arts entity, which has a goal of healing and growing the community, involves an undiagnosed medical condition, the inspiration to hold life drawing sessions, and teachers asking for free school supplies. While the story arguably has more twists and turns than a crime mystery, it is all true. Montanye’s foray into the world of art began when she attended the Art Institute of Atlanta in Georgia for graphic design in the 1990s. Living in an See Art Of Recycle pg 3

LCHS Tackles Two Spring Plays

The casts of the Lancaster Catholic High School productions of “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” and “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” are rehearsing the shows, which will be presented at the school on Thursday through Sunday, March 19 through 22. By Ann Mead Ash

Lancaster Catholic High School (LCHS) spring play director Tracy Wagner had a problem she needed to solve. “(I wanted) to highlight strong

actors and give students who didn’t have the time to devote to ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’ an opportunity to take part (in a show),” explained Wagner. To remedy the problem, she chose to present a See LCHS Plays pg 4
