Almost Classical CD Cover Mockup 300ppiOrcas Island musicians Lisa Carter, Emy Carter and Paris Wilson, who perform as the trio Almost Classical, have released a Christmas CD. The CD, entitled Almost Classical Christmas, is now available at Darvill’s in Eastsound.

The group, which features Lisa on piano and Celtic harp, and Emy and Paris on violin, has performed at the Evergreen State Fair, San Juan County Fair, Orcas Island’s summer Music in the Park series, Martin Lund’s One World concerts, and other events on Orcas Island and the mainland. Each musician is classically trained on her instrument, and they excel at creating their own arrangements of popular music.

Lisa Carter and Emy Carter are currently students at the Conservatory of Music at BIOLA University in Los Angeles. Paris is a freshman at Orcas Island High School.

Almost Classical will perform at Darvill’s on December 22, and at Random Howse in Eastsound on December 29.
