Olga Symphony in concert

Published 3:20 pm Monday, November 25, 2013

The Olga Symphony returns to the Orcas Center stage for two nights of post-Thanksgiving revelry, Friday and Saturday Nov. 29-30 at 7:30 p.m. Kick off the holiday season with the festive and slightly irreverent edge of the Olga Symphony in what has become a holiday tradition for many.

The Olga Symphony has been known to strum, pluck, pound on, blow into, blow over, squeeze or shake a significant variety of instruments. Some of those instruments include: guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle (a.k.a. violin), concertina, flute, slide guitar, piano, bass, whistle, saw, kazoo, ukulele, and nose flute.

With their sense of high fashion and low-brow humor, this ensemble has been delighting audiences on Orcas and neighboring communities for more than 30 years.

As always, proceeds from the concerts will benefit the Orcas Center and other Orcas nonprofits. Tickets are still at the 1978 rate of only $5 and may be purchased at www.orcascenter.org or by calling 376-2281 ext. 1 or visiting the Orcas Center Box Office.
