A string music festival, hosted by Bainbridge Island Youth Orchestra, will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 13 at Grace Episcopal Church (8595 NE Day Road).

“BIYO invites string musicians from the greater community to rock the island with Bainbridge Island native Andrew Joslyn, a violinist, composer and recording artist who has worked with Macklemore and Brian Lewis,” said BIYO spokeswoman Gail Cole. “It will be a fun day of collaboration, community building, and music-making.”

The Bainbridge Island Youth Orchestra provides orchestral experience and quality musical education while fostering teamwork and collaboration and nurturing self-confidence respect for the process, and musical excellence. It currently offers two, tiered string orchestras for musicians ages 7 to 18. These two orchestras are open to violin, viola, cello and double bass players in Kitsap County.
