||| FROM BETHANY MARIE for ORCAS CENTER |||
Orcas Center is pleased to present island legend, pianist Ron Myers, through their free streaming events series on Friday, May 7 at 7 p.m. To watch, go to www.OrcasCenter.org on the day and time of the performance.
Ron Myers began private classical training at the age of six, and continued for the next eleven years. A forty-year professional career precluded music as a full-time endeavor. Myers was afforded the opportunity to travel world-wide; always having a piano to play. Dance bands, radio shows, piano bars, weddings, variety shows, restaurants, special events have all contributed to his musical experience.
Since moving to Orcas Island in 1992, Myers has taught piano privately, accompanied musical productions at Orcas Center, played regularly at Rosario Resort, worked with island singers, and played four summers at Deer Harbor Inn restaurant. At 85, Ron Myers never imagined that his performances could be streamed into the homes of his audience, and is excited to share his love of music during the pandemic.
