return to the Update

A new Performing Arts Society has been formed on the island! 

And their very first concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 24, at the Benefit Players Theater (corner of Tucker and Guard). The concert will feature Hanneke Klein-Robbenhaar on violin and Sally Browne on cello, playing duets by Bach, Gliere and Dotzauer.  Admission is by donation, and all money received will go towards the cost of bringing the Theater’s new grand piano up from Seattle.

The Performing Arts Society aims to foster the growth and appreciation of the performing arts in our community, as well as to provide performance opportunities for the island’s remarkably talented performing artists, featuring new compositions, vocals, acoustic instrumentation, chamber ensembles and piano works.

If you enjoy listening to music, you are invited to attend PAS’s concerts.  If you are a performing artist, you are invited to join PAS and have the opportunity to keep in touch with the community of musicians around you, to enjoy their music, and to share your own talents with them as well as the community at large.  PAS will focus primarily on San Juan Island, but welcomes people from everywhere. Thanks!
