QUILCENE — The season finale of the Olympic Music Festival comes this weekend with two last concerts out on the farm at 7360 Center Road.
The farm, a 55-acre spread with a restored dairy barn, is the setting for 2 p.m. performances both Saturday and Sunday, this time of music by Beethoven and Debussy.
The featured artists are pianist Julio Elizalde and violist Alan Iglitzin, the artistic directors of the Olympic Music Festival, alongside cellist Patrick Jee and violinists Jessica Lee and Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu.
The gates of the farm open at 11 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, so music lovers can stroll, picnic and shop in the Milking Shed store before settling in for the concerts. The barn doors open at 1 p.m.
Patrons can choose to sit inside or out on the lawn where the music is broadcast. Either way, the dress is casual, as befitting the rural place. Tickets can be reserved in advance online or by phoning the festival office, while lawn seating is first-come, first-served at the farm gate. Prices range from $18 to $33, and directions, details and reservations await at 360-732-4800 and www.OlympicMusicFestival.com.
