— from Karen Blinn —
The Music Committee at Emmanuel Episcopal Church would like to extend a heartfelt and sincere thank you to the island musicians who donated their time and talents to the success of the Brown Bag Summer Concert Series this summer:
- Marianne Lewis
- Turtleback Brass
- BODaLO Trio
- Orcatrazz
- Carl Burger
- Almost Classical
- Sharon Abreu
- Martin Lund.
Many of these musicians return every year to perform. The donations received at each concert fund the annual Virgil Cleveland Scholarship which used to send an Orcas Island music student to music camp every year. Their generosity, and the generosity of our audiences make this possible.
We are proud to be part of a community which supports music education for young people on Orcas Island.
Thank you so much for asking Almost Classical to perform! It was a lot of fun working on the different pieces we were going to play and seeing all of the friendly faces in the audience was nice :]
