FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF BELLEVUE $24 GENERAL, $28 PREFERRED SEATING The holiday concert of "Sacred Music by Duke Ellington," featuring the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra, will be presented at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 29, 2007 in the First Presbyterian Church of Bellevue , 1717 Bellevue Way NE. This very special event, now in its 19th year, features the all-star Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra with guest vocalists Dee Daniels and James Caddell, the 30-voice Northwest Chamber Choir, and Roosevelt High School tap dancer Alex Dugdale. The Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra is directed by Ellington scholar Michael Brockman, professor of saxophone at the University of Washington, and Clarence Acox, drummer and award-winning band director at Seattle 's Garfield high school.

Embracing the jazz heritage and all religions, the concert celebrates Ellington's famous quote: "Every man prays in his own language. There is not language God does not understand."
