Rachel Buchman comes to Orcas April 26 to May 1, with a Barn Dance for pre-school families on April 29!
From the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival
There will be music and dancing when popular music educator Rachel Buchman returns to Orcas to visit pre-school students April 26 – May 1. She’ll teach songs and the language of music to the young ones and coach teachers in methods of music presentation. In addition, Rachel will work with students in Pamela Wright’s elementary school General Music classes.
This Musician-in-Residence is being sponsored through a gift by a generous Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival donor. Rachel was the wonderful Concert Mistress at the 2011 Children’s Concert, leading the young audience and Festival artists in musical storytelling.
In addition, the Chamber Music Festival is having its first ever Barn Dance on Sunday, April 29 at 3 p.m.! The dance is for preschoolers and their families. Rachel and local talent will lead a fun afternoon filled with music, dancing and goodies at an historic Orcas Island barn. Teachers will be providing details to parents. For more information, please call the OICMF Office 376-6636.
