An Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival Special Event
— from Joyce Stone —
An unforgettable musical experience is coming to Orcas! The internationally renowned Miró Quartet will perform the complete 16 string quartets of Beethoven.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to enjoy Beethoven’s extraordinary artistic journey in five unforgettable concerts – Monday, June 23, Tuesday, June 24, Wednesday, June 25 and Saturday, June 28 at 7:00 pm, with the closing concert Sunday, June 29 at 4:00 pm at Orcas Center.
Artistic Director Aloysia Friedmann says, “String quartets are considered to be the pinnacle of a composer’s art, and Beethoven’s 16 string quartets are universally acknowledged to be the greatest of them all. The complete cycle of Beethoven String Quartets is a major event when it takes place in New York, London or Tokyo. Having the Miró Quartet bring one of the greatest musical gifts ever created to Orcas Island is exceptional and will be a musical experience of a lifetime!”
