Teo Benson's benefit solo concert at the Cultural Center in Chacala was well-attended
and as special as ever with clear, starry skies and waves crashing on the beach as the backdrop. His solo Bach concerto performance
with the UAG orchestra in Guadalajara was a high point in Teo's career--a over-the-top rendition of two Bach pieces in
the incredible Capilla Tolsa of the Cabanas Cultural Institute, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in downtown Guadalajara. Never
to be forgotten. Teo has already been invited to return to teach and perform there!

Island Strings Participants & Families-
We have a very exciting year of events coming up! Some of these
include, workshops in classical technique, fiddling techniques, and the general development of musicianship. There will be
two solo recitals in which we hope to include many of the talented adult musicians we have on Whidbey as well as the younger
students. We will participate in community events such as Children's Day on September 24th, and Youth in Arts in the Spring.
There will also be holiday music parties and house concerts to go to. In order to cover costs at these various events such
as insurance and advertising, we ask for a $15 activity fee. Checks can be made out to “Island Strings” and can
