from Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival

Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival performances will be featured on a special broadcast on Lopez Radio station KLOI this Friday, March 9 at 2 pm. The program will be repeated Sunday at 2 pm. You don’t have to live on Lopez to hear it. Simply go online to access live streaming audio.

“Classical Hour with Gary Alexander” creatively ties program content to birthdays of composers. Ravel, Barber, Piazzolla and Dick Hyman all have March birthdays, and they are all included on Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival recordings available on CDs. Works from Boccherini and Schubert will also be included in this one-hour program.

During the 2012 Summer Festival, August 10-25, Orcas Island Chamber Music will be presenting a first-ever concert on Lopez Island. The Miró Quartet will perform Friday, August 10th at 5:00 pm at Grace Episcopal Church on Lopez with the following two-weeks of concerts and lectures scheduled on Orcas.
