Jon Kimura Parker returns to Orcas Island for a Salon Concert on Sunday, March 12, at 3:30 p.m., presented by Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival. The audience will be treated to a diverse selection of engaging piano works by composers classical to contemporary.

Parker will perform Beethoven’s Sonata in F minor Opus 57, familiarly known as the Appassionata. Also on the program are Ravel’s Jeux d’Eau (Fountains), Scenes from a Jade Terrace by Alexina Louie, and, back by popular demand, two fantasies by William Hirtz, one on movie themes scored by Bernard Herrmann for thriller and sci-fi classics North by Northwest, Mysterious Island, and Psycho, and an audience favorite, the Wizard of Oz Fantasy, originally scored as a duet for two pianists and reworked by the composer as a piano solo with Parker in mind. The setting for this concert will be the intimate living room of a lovely island home. Enjoy the post-concert reception and join us for a glass of Thurston Wolfe wine and light appetizers provided by Bill Patterson of William Patterson Foods.
