"If the King loves music, it is well with the land." –Mencius
It was a great day for a Baroque concert on the front lawn of George Washington Inn! With so much happening on the farm, the music was heavenly as the orchestra’s beautiful sounds reached throughout the grounds. Bach, Handel and Corelli would have been proud. Maestro Dewey Ehling and many musicians from the Port Townsend Community Orchestra came out to make it all come together in perfect harmony!
A recent article in the Peninsula Daily News had this to say about the upcoming Washington Music Festival.
“And then they’ve added the Washington Music Festival to their Farm Faire menu. Port Angeles conductor Dewey Ehling is putting together small ensembles to play music of the Baroque era, the kind George and Martha Washington would have heard. On July 19 and 20, these musicians will play on the inn’s patio, with its red, white and purple flowers blooming around them.”
Don’t miss all the excitement at this unique venue between Sequim and Port Angeles. Enjoy the beauty and sounds of an oceanfront farm that shares a panorama that showcases the Olympic National Park along the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Dates: July 19-20, 2013 (Sequim Lavender Weekend)
Time: 2 PM – 5 PM
Location: George Washington Inn and Estate ~ 939 Finn Hall Rd., Port Angeles, Washington 98362
Today the sod came up and the stakes went down. The cement will be poured by the end of the week. The new platform for the Washington Music Festival is beginning to take shape and will provide a great venue for the players at the inaugural event this summer. Plans are well under way to provide a great line up of musicians and actors for the festival which will be held on the Washington Lavender Farm during the Sequim Lavender Weekend.
