The Madrona Club of Orcas Island was treated to some beautiful music by Orcas School Music Director Pamela Wright and her music students at the Club’s monthly luncheon on Thursday, April 10. Students from the 5th-6th Grade Choir performed the haunting Shule Aroon, an 18th century Irish folk song, and the Orcas Choir Club sang another traditional Irish song, May the Road Rise to Meet You.
Members of the 5th-6th Grade Choir include: Tayler Block, Landon Carter, Celina Chapman, Maya Heikkinen, Brandon Kiernan, Ian Maier, Madison Pollock, Soeth Quintero, Abigal Ricker, Mario Pocasangre Rodriguez, Arla Sutton, Camryn Thompson and Madison Todd. Choir Club members include: Eric Eagan, Kayleigh Horton, Joanne Mietzner, Chela Scheckel-Mohler, and Meg Waage. Lisa and Emy Carter, playing piano and violin, accompanied both groups.
