Kathy Haley and Phil House will grace the stage at the First Universalist Church of Auburn at its next Concert for a Cause event.
The concert will take place at 2 p.m. Sunday.
When Phil House and Kathy Haley join forces they are a “dynamic duo.” Together they have been delighting audiences throughout Maine, most notably at the Annual Summer Concert series at the Poland Spring in All Souls Chapel, along with periodic appearances at the Sawyer Memorial and other local venues.
House, organist at the First Universalist Church in Auburn for 30 years, has also recorded many CDs of his piano and organ music. He has made a life performing — from his hometown of Bryant Pond to Nashville, Tennessee, and far away Vienna, Austria.
Haley, from Danville, started performing early as a church organist, pianist and folk singer. Kathy was one of the lead singers with the Top 40 dance band “Good and Plenty” and the vocal band called “The Girls of LA.” Currently she performs with a new vocal group called “My Mother’s Daughter.” During the school year, she is the accompanist for the Edward Little High School and Auburn Middle School choral groups. Haley’s main role is organist/choir director at the Court Street Baptist Church of Auburn.
Concerts for a Cause brings special concerts to the Lewiston-Auburn community while raising money for area charities. The series is produced by local musician and church choir director Dave Rowe, along with a dedicated group of church members.
This concert will benefit the church and the Safe Voices organization.
