We look forward to warmer weather and our 2024 Festival –
Mark your calendars and join us August 2 – 17!
As we anticipate details of our 2024 Season Artists and repertoire from Artistic Director Aloysia Friedmann, we have set our Festival concert dates and are ready to share them with you.
During the Festival, we present ten concerts on the Orcas Center Main Stage, five repeated concerts performed on back-to-back evenings with the same repertoire and artists. The first of each pair begins at 7:30 and the second begins at 5:30, and all concerts are followed by receptions with beverages and small bites. For those of you who are unable to see the concerts in person, all five of our 5:30 pm concerts are also livestreamed. We also take the Festival “on the road” (across the Salish Sea, actually) to Lopez Island for an afternoon concert.

Community outreach events during the Festival include a fun daytime concert for children and an open rehearsal for Orcas Island elders and others who find it difficult to attend our evening concerts. In addition, our Festival performers spend one very full day performing Hamlet Concerts just for residents of the small villages in the far corners of the island.
