Sunday, August 7, 5 – 7 p.m., Village Green
— from Kristen Wilson —
Celebrate summer with Almost Classical at their free concert on The Stage on the Village Green in Eastsound on Sunday, August 7, from 5 to 7 p.m. Lisa Carter, Emy Carter and Paris Wilson of Almost Classical will be performing with special guest Sophie Parker.
Bring a picnic and a blanket and enjoy the music of this classically-trained pop trio whose music appeals to all ages. With Lisa on Celtic harp and piano, and Emy and Paris on violin, this group excels at creating their own arrangements of popular songs and burst into three-part vocal harmony at the drop of a hat. Sophie Parker, who will be making a special appearance with the group, is not to be missed!
Almost Classical has performed at the Evergreen State Fair, San Juan County Fair, Martin Lund’s One World Concerts and many other events. Each young lady has received top rankings at Northwest Washington music contests, both as a group, and as individual soloists. In 2014 they won the island-wide Orcas Has Talent show.
Lisa and Emy are students at the Biola Music Conservatory in Los Angeles. Paris just completed her freshman year at Orcas Island High School. The trio released their first CD, Almost Classical Christmas, last November.
The concert is free; the music is wonderful. Come one, come all, and have a good time!
