||| FROM ANITA ORNE for OLGA SYMPHONY |||
They’re back! Longtime favorite island holiday tradition the Olga Symphony concert will be happening at Orcas Center on Friday, November 24 and Saturday November 25 at 7 p.m. Melinda, Gordon, Z, JP, and Anita will once more bring guitar, fiddle, bass, mandolin, ukulele, banjo, dobro, musical saw and luscious vocals to you in a decidedly non-symphonic manner. There will be familiar favorite songs, new musical treasures, laughs, and some really nice clothes.
Don’t worry if you’re going to be off island for the holiday weekend – wherever you might be spending your Thanksgiving, the Olga Symphony is coming to you! Saturday night’s concert will be livestreamed! Simply go to www.OrcasCenter.org at 7 p.m. on November 25th to watch online.
Since its inception in 1983, the Olga Symphony and their guests have donated all proceeds from every performance and CD sale, including this holiday show, back to the community – no member of the Symphony has ever made a cent. This year, as it has been since the very earliest days of this annual holiday-season concert over 25 years ago, ALL TICKETING, in person and livestream, is entirely BY DONATION! Your generous gift upon purchase will be passed along in its entirety to local charities.
Thank you for your kind help in helping others while enjoying the music! For tickets and more information, please visit www.orcascenter.org. See you there, it’s going to be a great time!
