||| FROM JEFFRY STEELE for EMMANUEL EPISCOPAL CHURCH |||

Lunchtime concerts featuring seasoned island performers in the historic church sanctuary. Wednesdays at noon from 7/2 through 8/20. Donations collected for the music scholarship fund sending promising high school students to music camp.

  • Wed, 7/9/25 at noon: Turtleback Brass
  • Emmanuel Episcopal Church
  • 242 Main St, Eastsound
Turtleback Brass has existed on Orcas Island in one form or another since 2011.  Today, the group includes original members Steve Alboucq (trumpet) and Dimitri Stankevich (tuba). Rounding out the quintet are “newer members” (ten years or less!) Oliver Groenewald (trumpet), Nels Magelsson (horn) and Don Breazeal (horn). You may recognize some, or all, of these musicians from their performances with local groups and in local productions over the years, with one notable recent event being “Dancing in the Brass Ring” with the Orcas Dance Collective.  If you’re lucky, you are also familiar with Oliver’s amazing Seattle-based jazz group, NewNet.
