To the editor:

Whidbey Island is blessed with a wonderful professional orchestra of gifted local musicians, ably led by dedicated Maestro Legh Burns.

Last Tuesday the Saratoga Chamber Orchestra performed an ambitious program of Scandinavian masters Nielsen, Larsson and Sibelius, featuring the exciting young soloist Knut Erik Jensen playing the fabulous “Grieg Piano Concerto.” The audience was absolutely enthralled.

Alas, not a word about this major cultural event was to be found in the weekend issue of the Record. What a shame that our only local news outlet can’t devote at least a few lines to reminding its readers of these rare cultural opportunities.
