The Oregon Arts Council will present a benefit for needy area families featuring singer Matt Walch Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. in the Fassett Middle School auditorium, 3025 Starr Ave.
Singing Big Band standards and classics recorded by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, Elvis, Bobby Darin and other greats, Walch has more than 10 years of performing experience. Based in Jackson, Mich., he has appeared throughout the United States. His credits including opening for the Glenn Miller Orchestra and playing the lead in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He was also a featured dancer and soloist for two years in the jazz show choir, Starfleet Ambassadors.

The concert is the first event sponsored by the new Oregon Arts Council, which is now being formed. According to organizer Jim Kwiatkowski, the all-volunteer group plans to present winter performances as well as a free concert series in the summer. The council also plans to offer workshops in painting, voice, cooking and other arts-related topics.
“Our goal is to provide wholesome entertainment for the family and help out local charities,” he said. For more information or to order tickets, call 419-754-4702.
