July 28, 2005Locals to perform prior to Opera House moviesBY LINDSAY VANHULLERecord-Eagle staff writer TRAVERSE CITY - Several area teenagers will get a chance to perform for moviegoers prior to films at the City Opera House during this week's Traverse City Film Festival. The musicians, which include two adults from Interlochen Center for the Arts, will each perform two numbers to help display local talent, said Robert Hughes, City Opera House venue manager. "The idea originally was to bring in some local talent," Hughes said. "(It's) just to show anybody who's coming in from out of town that we've got some talented kids in this town." The students will perform as moviegoers come into the theater and find their seats, he said. Performing prior to all four Opera House shows Thursday are Kelly Sitek and Claire Gibbons on vocals, Jessie Aja on drums, Miles Kaufmann on piano and Jeff Cavistan on bass. There will be no performances before the 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. shows Friday, but the two evening performances will include four members of the Traverse City Central High School 2004-2005 Choral-Aires - Sitek, Amanda Wyskochil, Gibbons and Kathleen Loup. The band again includes Aja, Kaufmann and Cavistan. Saturday's shows at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. will feature Jack Fivecoate on harmonica, Reese Gallagher on guitar and John Tornga on bongos. All three will sing. The 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. shows will have Matt Harting on guitar and Wyskochil on vocals. Harting will have a guitar solo at the 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Sunday shows, and Interlochen instructors Rick and Lynn Church will sing and play piano at the 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. shows Sunday.
