Soprano highlights DeKalb Band concert

The DeKalb Municipal Band will present a concert at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Hopkins Park band shell. Soloists include a local favorite, soprano Cecilia Kafer, and Roger Ackert, the band’s principal alto saxophone player.

Kafer has sung with the municipal band every year since 1991. She has also appeared locally with the Kishwaukee Symphony Orchestra, the Northern Illinois University Wind Ensemble, the Shananigans Big Band and Stage Coach Players. Until her recent retirement, Kafer maintained a private voice studio in her DeKalb home.

Kafer will sing the jazz standard “Poinciana,” “Deep Purple” and “I Could Have Danced All Night” from Lerner and Loewe’s musical “My Fair Lady.”
