It was a concert perfect in every way.   As guests approached Rosario Resort on Orcas Island, they were greeted with white Christmas lights framing the beautiful historic mansion.  The lobby was filled with a Festival of trees, each uniquely decorated by Orcas Island non-profit organizations.  And then the stars of the evening  -  the magnificent Miró Quartet.  Daniel Ching, William Fedkenheuer, John Largess and Joshua Gindele masterfully performed Beethoven’s Harp String Quartet in E-Flat Major, Op. 74 and Schubert’s String Quartet in G Major, D887.  The world famous and much-loved Quartet played these classics in Rosario’s Music Room, the centerpiece of the mansion featuring Belgian stained glass, a Tiffany chandelier, two mezzanine libraries and a two-story 1913 Aeolian pipe organ.  It was the perfect setting for a magical evening. 

We can’t thank the Miró Quartet enough for coming to Orcas Island in rainy December to perform for our “Leaves of Gold” Fundraising Concert.  It was a very special gift which overwhelmed concert-goers will long remember!
