Music with a Mission is proud
to feature Susie Pepper and Mixology for a “Night at the Movies” concert
featuring many favorite songs from Disney and other beloved musicals in a
special Friday evening show, September 13th, at 7 p.m. Mixology is a
group of seasoned professional musicians who have performed hundreds of gigs
covering jazz standards, pop, rock, R&B and genres from Elvis to
Beyonce.
Susie Pepper is well-known
throughout Southern Maine as a talented and dynamic vocalist. Susie won
the title of Miss Maine in 2009 and was a featured soloist in
the Portland Symphony Orchestra’s 2014 and 2017 “Magic of Christmas” series. Kelly
Muse is the bandleader and pianist for the group with over two decades of
experience in performing, teaching, composing, and arranging.
“We are very excited to bring Susie Pepper and Mixology
back to our Music with a Mission concert series,” said Dr. Richard
Nickerson, Minister of Music for NWUC. “They put on an impressive show in the
spring of 2018 and our audience is eager to have them return. Susie and
Kelly have planned a fun concert of the most popular songs from movies that
everyone loves. This will be a terrific evening for families and kids of
all ages from 9 to 90!”
The Music with a Mission concert series is sponsored by
the North Windham Union Church, which donates a portion of the proceeds to area
non-profits. Now in our seventh season, MWAM has provided over $65,000
for mission support to the church and other community organizations.
Mixology has chosen to support Hope Acts with the community proceeds from this concert. Hope Acts provides transitional housing for asylum-seekers new to the Greater Portland area. Their mission is to provide housing, English classes, and other resources that support immigrants in transitioning to life in Greater Portland and in achieving their goals for a successful future. Hope Acts envisions a community where immigrants are welcomed and empowered socially, emotionally, physically, economically and spiritually.
