Artist Feature: Time for Three
String trio Time For Three kicks off the Festival this season with an energetic evening of classical crossover music.
Since the members of Tf3 were students at Philadelphia's Curtis Institute of Music, they have wowed media and fellow artists alike with their charismatic musicianship. National Public Radio said, "In person, the members of Time for Three come off as just three dudes in a band. But with their staggering technique and freewheeling genre-crossing, it's hard not to be swept up in the force of their contagious energy." The Wall Street Journal praised the trio's rare blend of "spontaneity and precision."
We are in for a rollicking good time for our opening concerts!
"Give Orcas" Campaign
Ends May 27!
Orcas Island Community Foundation's "Give Orcas" campaign is rolling to a close soon and OICMF's Open Rehearsal for Seniors program will benefit from your contributions, large, small, and in between!

Since 2010, OICMF has provided an afternoon concert at Orcas Center for island seniors, featuring Festival musicians rehearsing for and discussing that night's performance. The Senior Open Rehearsal is a fun and informative occasion for many who are unable to attend the regular evening concerts.

See OICF's giveorcas.org website today to learn more and make a contribution before it's too late!
