WEEKEND: Piano-playing pair brings original takes on classics, Broadway and pop at Olympic Music Fest on Saturday, Sunday

QUILCENE — The Olympic Music Festival, that summer-long series on a farm in rural Jefferson County, presents Anderson & Roe, an unconventional piano duo, in concert this weekend.

At 2 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday, Juilliard alumni Greg Anderson and Elizabeth Joy Roe will offer their original arrangements of Mozart arias, music from “West Side Story,” tangos by Astor Piazzolla and a “classical” treatment of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean.”

The concerts take place inside a century-old barn on the Olympic Music Festival farm at 7360 Center Road, with tickets ranging from $14 to $35.

Listeners may choose to sit inside the barn or out on the grass where the music is broadcast; the gates open at 11 a.m. for those who also feel like strolling and picnicking on the farm. Wherever, the attire is decidedly casual.

For more about the festival, which runs every weekend through Sept. 13, visit www.OlympicMusicFestival.org, phone 360-732-4800.
