— from Regina Zwilling —
Get ready for another round of Martin Lund’s “One World Music Celebration”! This year’s show will take you on a tour of Hollywood through the years, revisiting classic theme songs from some of our most-beloved cinematic memories.
Martin Lund creates this popular variety show each June and wows the audience with an exquisite sampling of fantastic music and world class artists from the Northwest and beyond.
This year’s show includes some of our own island’s musical icons: Grace McCune, Gene Nery, Charlie Porter, and Tony Morales to name a few. Also making an encore appearance in this year’s show are Island-grown rising stars Emy and Lisa Carter and Paris Wilson, better known as Almost Classical. They are joined by Broadway singer/dancer, Noah Racey and singer extraordinaire Moqui Graham and other musicians to revisit the magic of Casablanca, Gone With the Wind, Chariots of Fire, The Wizard Of Oz, Music Man and many more!
Come take a trip down the red carpet, revisit some of your favorite memories of the silver screen and enjoy a night of music that you will never forget.
All net proceeds benefit The Funhouse Commons. This year you can come enjoy a dinner from The Kitchen before Friday night’s performance! Dinner will be served starting at 5:30 pm. Show (and Friday night dinner) tickets are available from the Orcas Center Box Office, 376-ACT1 and online at www.orcascenter.org.
