— from Linda Slone, Festival Manager —
Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival’s annual Leaves of Gold concert will be held on Monday, Dec. 11, at 6:00 p.m. in the Music Room of the Mansion at Rosario Resort. The Miró Quartet, OICMF’s Quartet-in-Residence, joins OICMF Artistic Director and violinist Aloysia Friedmann pianist and OICMF Artistic Advisor Jon Kimura Parker in works by Clara Schumann, Robert Schumann, and Johannes Brahms. The concert, aptly titled “Love Triangle,” will capture the hearts of audience members as they learn about the close relationship between Clara and the very young Brahms as Robert’s physical and mental health deteriorated. The program will also have a few other musical surprises!
The Miró Quartet’s members, violinists Daniel Ching and William Fedkenheuer, violist John Largess, and cellist Joshua Gindele, are on faculty at the Sarah and Ernest Butler School of Music at the University of Texas at Austin, where they teach private students and coach chamber music.
A reception in the Mansion Dining Room follows the concert, featuring a buffet of hors d’oeuvres, desserts, and wines, prepared and served by executive chef Raymond Southern and his staff. The concert is underwritten by the Valerie and William Anders Foundation. For more information, email info@oicmf.org or call the Festival office at (360)376-6636.
