Whidbey Island Center for the Arts Debuts Chamber Music on the Rock Series

A new partnership between Trio RASA and Whidbey Island Center for the Arts will make its debut on WICA’s Main Stage over two weekends this summer, June 24-25 and July 1-2, 2023. 

Performing will be Trio Rasa and the RASA 4/5.  Team RASA is comprised of Linda Vogt and Gloria Ferry-Brennan, violins; Roxanna Patterson, viola; Aniela Marie Perry, cello; and Sheila Weidendorf, piano. 

Sheila Weidendorf, pianist for the chamber music group, describes RASA as Sanskrit for “Qualities of art, inspiration.” Weidendorf explained that the partnership with WICA means that RASA will perform twice a year at WICA, a place they refer to as the musical group’s classical home. “Music is fun, we love what we do,” said Weidendorf. “And music is universal.” Here are the programs for the chamber music group’s debut performances at WICA:
