ENTERPRISE — The Wallowa Valley Music Alliance will present another series of classical music concerts at the historic Enterprise Odd Fellows Hall this spring.

The concerts are supported by the Wallowa County Cultural Trust Coalition and the Roundhouse Foundation.

Project organizer Lisa Robertson, a founding board member of the music alliance, has a long list of accomplishments in the classical music world and currently serves as concertmaster of the Oregon East Symphony.

“I’m grateful for the support from the Music Alliance for classical music,” Robertson said. “It’s always a pleasure to perform in the Odd Fellows Hall since they have made many aesthetic and acoustical improvements.”

Concerts of classical music, performed by small groups of players, are planned for Sundays, March 2, April 13 and June 15, at 2 p.m. at the Odd Fellows Hall, 105 NE First St.

The March 2 concert will feature local classical players, including Robyn Burns, Alana Caine, Hayden Kissinger, Emily Knudsen, Liz Powers, Malakai Powers, Lisa Robertson, Greg Schulberg and Marika Straw.

The program on April 13 features music for violin, cello and piano with Lisa Robertson (Enterprise), Ed Dixon (Walla Walla) and James Cook (Boise) plus “four-hands” compositions for piano performed by James Cook and Ruth Cook.

The final concert on June 15 will feature a professional brass quartet from Washington, Fourtissimo.

All concerts will be free of charge, with donations gratefully accepted to help cover expenses.
