WEEKEND: Olympic Music Festival to feature young violinist

“Today” and “tonight” represent Friday, Aug. 9; Saturday and Sunday are Aug. 10 and 11.

QUILCENE — A young violinist from New York City will join a chamber group this weekend for the next installment of the Olympic Music Festival, the series of Concerts in the Barn at 7360 Center Road.

Emily Daggett Smith, co-founder of the New York-based Tessera Quartet, will perform twice, at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, in a program of Beethoven, Walton, Foss and Dvorak. Beside her will be cellist Matthew Zalkind, violist-violinist Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu, violist Alan Iglitzin and pianist Julio Elizalde.

A winner of the Juilliard concerto competition who has performed as concertmaster of the Juilliard Orchestra, Daggett Smith has also performed in Seattle, Banff, Alberta, Shanghai and Beijing.

Tickets to Olympic Music Festival concerts range from $18 to $33, depending on whether patrons sit inside the barn or outside on the lawn, where the music is broadcast.

The festival farm, about 18 miles south of Port Townsend, opens its gates at 11 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, and then the barn doors open at 1 p.m. For details, reservations and directions to the farm, see www.OlympicMusicFestival.org or phone 360-732-4800.
