Dawson girls to present holiday music program for Mozart Music Club
CONNELLSVILLE – A local duo, Katie and Sara Zebley, will present a holiday program for the Mozart Music Club at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 2. The event will take place at Wesley United Methodist Church on South Pittsburgh Street in Connellsville. The public is invited.
The girls are the daughters of Ray and Janice Zebley of Dawson. Katie, 17, plays the flute, piccolo, guitar and piano, while her sister, Sara, 14, plays clarinet, violin and piano.
Last summer, Sara won second place on the violin at a music festival at Twin Lakes Park in Greensburg.
During the past four years, the girls have entertained guests at the historic Cochran House in Dawson. They frequently perform for school musicals, hospital events, personal care homes and other charities.
As members of Bryan United Methodist Church, the girls direct the church’s children choir and sing and play for the adult choir.
They study violin and guitar with Scott Leichliter, piano with Frances Kintigh and flute with Gail Cuneo.
They call themselves “Girls in Black Hats” or “Sibling Revelry,” depending on the style of music that they are performing. Their repertoire includes country, county and gospel.
Both girls attend Frazier School District and play in the Frazier School Band. They are also involved in volleyball, basketball and softball and have achieved academic excellence in school.
For Dec. 2, the program will be held in the Susanna Wesley Room at the church. Entrance can be made to the church through the back red door.
