QUILCENE — Tickets are on sale for the opening weekend June 29-30 of the 30th season of the Olympic Music Festival, which provides world-class chamber music on a farm 18 miles south of Port Townsend.
Ticket prices range from $18 to $33.
Opening weekend, San Francisco-based baritone Zachary Gordin will regale audiences with a soloist program titled “Songs & Dances of Love,” accompanied on piano by Paul Hersh.
Selections will include lyrical pieces by Hahn, Liszt and Schumann.
The performance will be the only concert in the summerlong festival featuring a vocalist, said Kristin E. Mineah, marketing director.
“So don’t miss the opportunity to experience this unique opportunity,” she said.
The concerts are conducted in an early 1900s dairy barn on a 55-acre farm at 7360 Center Road in Quilcene.
The barn has been converted into a performance hall with “exceptional” natural acoustics, Mineah said.
Concerts take place every Saturday and Sunday afternoon throughout the season.
Each concert begins at 2 p.m. The festival grounds open at
11 a.m. so people can wander or have a picnic before the barn doors open at 1 p.m.
Patrons can choose to sit inside the barn or outside on the lawn where the concert is broadcast.
Attire is casual.
At the farm’s milking shed, souvenirs, CDs, clothing, beverages and snacks are sold before concerts.
Ticket may be purchased by phone at 360-732-4800 or online at www.olympicmusicfestival.org.
