Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival’s “Leaves of Gold” fundraising concert will take place at Rosario Resort, and will be performed twice: Saturday, Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 16 at 2 p.m.

“The historic Rosario Mansion’s Music Room is the perfect setting to enjoy the talents of charismatic violinist Chee-Yun and acclaimed pianist Andrew Staupe,” say OICMF representatives. “This amazing duo performed at Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC last fall, and we’re proud to announce that they will be together again on Orcas this fall. They will perform Beethoven’s famous Kreutzer Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 9, as well as works from Bach, Elgar and Saint-Saens.”

The event is hosted by Rosario Resort owners Jan and Jerry Barto; Cynthia and Sam Coleman are concert sponsors for both performances.  Artists’ sponsors are Carol Marcin and Tom Burg, sponsoring Chee-Yun; and Martha Farish and Joe Cohen, sponsoring Andrew Staupe.

Tickets for the “Leaves of Gold” annual fundraising concert are $150. The concert benefits Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival programming and music in the schools.

Call the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival office at 376-6636 to reserve seats. There are no online sales for this event. Following the concerts, guests are invited to enjoy beverages and hors d’oeuvres in the Mansion’s Orcas Room.
