The Church of the Holy Trinity, 502 S. Morris St. Oxford MD, is pleased to host A Tribute To Sinatra Sunday afternoon November 16, 2025 at 3 p.m. Vocalist Bob McDonald and Pianist Tony Nalker will celebrate the songs and life of legendary crooner Frank Sinatra with an afternoon of the most memorable songs from the singer’s film and concert performances. We are thrilled to be able to share these highly acclaimed musicians with our music friends and local community.
SGM (Ret) Bob McDonald, Baritone, served as Group Leader and a member of the U.S. Army Chorus for over 26 years, retiring in 2020. In this capacity he performed regularly at the White House, and for visiting dignitaries from across the globe. Bob is a regular fixture of the Washington DC musical theatre and cabaret scene. He has performed regularly at The Kennedy Center, Metro Stage, Folger Theatre, AMP by Strathmore, Wolf Trap, and Signature Theatre, among others. Bob is a very versatile performer starring in regional operas, singing with symphony orchestras, and singing for professional sports events in the DC area and throughout the country. Yes, this is the famous voice singing our National Anthem at the Washington Capitals games!
Tony Nalker performs widely in Washington, D.C., currently serving as jazz pianist with the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra and the National Symphony Orchestra Pops. From 1989-2016 Tony was the pianist in the Army Blues, the premiere jazz ensemble of the U.S. Army, and served as the group’s enlisted leader. Tony has played for the highest levels of the U.S. government and military and performed on USO tours to Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as State Department sponsored musical diplomacy tours to Russia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. Many, many amateur and semi-professional musicians have played with Tony, as he is the pianist for Hal Leonard Publishing’s Jazz Play-Along series which has produced nearly 200 CD’s/books.
Please join us for a great afternoon of music with these exceptional musicians. Everyone is welcome. We will take a freewill offering to help defray artist expenses. For further information, please contact the Church office at 410-226-5134.
