We stopped by the Community Center this morning and listened to a dress rehearsal for the annual Chamber Music Festival.
This is the 30th anniversary of the highly celebrated summer event that brings top musical talent to the Methow Valley. Most of the concerts are already sold out.
Karen said in the old days concerts were held in barns and far-flung outdoor locations around the county, none of them ideal for chamber music or large audiences.
The Twisp Community Center is in the final stages of a major renovation, including the old gym with a stage.
Echoey, cold in winter and hot in summer, it was the venue for countless local plays and pageants over the decades. We have sat on folding chairs through some long productions there.
Well, I don't know how they accomplished it, but the old gym sounded like a concert hall this morning the acoustics were so excellent. Funky old Twisp is becoming quite posh.
