They’re back! The beloved tradition returns, as the Olga Symphony once more takes to the Orcas Center stage Friday, Nov. 25 and Saturday, Nov. 26 at 7 p.m. for their annual Holiday Concert. Melinda, Gordon, Z, JP, and Anita will bring guitar, fiddle, bass, mandolin, ukulele, banjo, dobro, musical saw and luscious vocals to you in decidedly non-symphonic manner. There will be classic favorite songs, a few new treasures, some laughs, and some really nice clothes.

The Symphony is thrilled that this year they once more have friends joining in the fun! Former band-member Dave Parish and his flute will add his special touch, as will local singer-songwriter Madison West. And, back by popular demand, Mel Urbanozo, aka “that Hawaiian Guy”, will also be there!

Masks will be required in the theater and lobby except where refreshments are being served.

Don’t worry if you’re going to be off island for the holiday weekend. Friday night’s concert will be livestreamed! Simply go to www.OrcasCenter.org.

Since its inception in 1983, the Olga Symphony and their guests have donated all proceeds from every performance and CD sale, including this holiday show, back to the community — no member of the Symphony has ever made a cent. This year, hearkening back to the very earliest days of this annual holiday-season concert, 25 years ago, ALL TICKETING, in person and livestream, is entirely BY DONATION! Your generous gift upon purchase will be passed along in its entirety to local charities. For tickets and more information, please visit www.orcascenter.org.
