The Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival (Aloysia Friedmann, Artistic Director) is proud to be featured on Classical KING FM 98.1 on Saturday, June 4th at 2 p.m. in a special two-hour broadcast.
This program is part of KING FM’s International Concert Hall series airing each Saturday afternoon, which features performances from top orchestral and chamber concerts in the Pacific Northwest and around the world.
Repertoire featured from the 2010 Summer Festival includes the complete Schumann Piano Quintet in E-flat Major and Mendelssohn’s Sextet in D Major, along with movements from Boccherini’s Fandango for Guitar Quintet No. 4 in D Major, Schumann’s Violin Sonata No. 2 in D Minor, Tarrega’s (arr. Fisk) Recuerdos de la Alhambra for Two Guitars, Falla’s Danza Espanola from La Vida Breve for Two Guitars, Ravel’s Ma Mere L’Oye (Mother Goose) and the Sonata for Violin and Cello.
This Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival (OICMF) program was recorded as part of an exciting new nationwide music project called “America’s Music Festivals,” a 26-week radio series that presents live performances from leading music festivals in North America. This innovative series, hosted by Marin Alsop, captures the sense of place that makes each festival unique. The programs are produced by Marty Ronish of Sweet Bird Classics, the same producer who brings listeners the Chicago Symphony Orchestra each week.
In addition to the radio program on Saturday, June 4th, you can hear the entire OICMF program online after its airing on KING FM.

KING FM is now listener supported, and will increase their number of live and local concert broadcasts of top Northwest groups. In 2010, they presented more than 40 local broadcast concerts. That number will increase to more than 60 this year.
