WEEKEND: Paper creations to enhance piano ‘coffee concert’

NOTE: “Today” and “tonight” mean Friday, July 26. “Saturday and Sunday refer to July 27 and 28.

PORT TOWNSEND — Lovers of art and music are invited to Turtle Bluff III’s monthly show and concert this Sunday.

Artist Carol McComb, who specializes in hand-cast paper, will display her creations in this show, to open at 1:30 p.m.; then comes a “coffee concert,” with pianists Gwendolyn Moore and Barbara Hinchliff.

McComb’s work will stay on display through Aug. 24 at Turtle Bluff III, which is located at 523 Blue Ridge Drive in rural Jefferson County.

Her art form allows her to “transform a whole mass of pulp,” McComb writes, “into a shape that can be earthy or colorful, fragile yet durable.” The coffee concert at 2 p.m. will include two-piano suites by Rachmaninoff as well as the composer’s Symphonic Dances. Tickets are $10 and concert-goers don’t need to make any reservations.

These events raise money for the Turtle Bluff Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarships to young musicians from Jefferson County. Art sales generate proceeds for the fund, as do sales of wines from Ancient Vine Wine Co.

The Seattle company’s Peter Mansfield will be on hand to introduce wines he has selected for the event, and will contribute $1 from the sales of each glass to the scholarship fund.
