The McKeesport Symphony's Orchestra of the Alleghenies is back this spring with a jazz program for the entire family.
Jazz vocalist Jessica Lee (at right) will join the orchestra May 19 in a program of American jazz favorites arranged by keyboardist Rick Purcell, a spokeswoman said.
The concert is at 2:30 p.m. in the auditorium of McKeesport Area High School. Also featured on the concert will be Steinway Young Artist Winner Hannah Che, performing Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2.
The orchestra is also holding a "Capture the Community" photo contest for this concert, the spokeswoman said. Deadline for entries is May 10.

The McKeesport Area High School a cappella choir, under the direction of Beth Eger, will join the orchestra for "America, the Beautiful," and four high school students from McKeesport Area High School will perform side-by-side with their professional counterparts during a portion of the concert.
Students Samantha Storms (violin), John Meekins (trombone), Taylor Fillippa (oboe) and Elliott Kaylor (flute) were selected by school music directors Karen Cole and Katelyn Panza to participate in this concert.
