This year features Kenji Fuse and Chris Prince, both Violists with the Victoria Symphony Orchestra, and special guests Laura Backstrom on the Bass-Viola (more commonly known as the cello).
Also featuring jazz-pianist Karel Roessingh.
Program will feature the Eyeglass Duo by Beethoven, viola duos by Bartok, Ray Davies and Telemann, and more.
This is a special benefit for the Island Biodiesel Co-op.
