Brown Bag concerts have been a summer tradition at Emmanuel for over twenty years, giving audiences the opportunity to hear local musicians performing something for everyone, from classical to jazz.

The Music Committee at Emmanuel Parish is grateful to all the musicians who graciously donate their time for the enjoyment of the community and to ensure the continuation of the music camp scholarship given to a young Orcas musician each summer to participate in music camp. Although the concerts are free, donations are gratefully accepted for the camp fund.

Concerts will continue through the summer on Wednesdays at noon. Audiences are invited to bring a brown bag lunch to enjoy on the church lawn after the concert.
