Every success in the production and presentation of the Festival would not be possible without the amazing group of volunteers who sustain and nurture this year-round classical music organization. The Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival is filled with sincere appreciation for the Festival’s many volunteers.
Volunteer Opportunities
Our nearly 200 summer volunteers provide many of the details that are so necessary to running the Festival, from ushering and managing the house, to providing housing for our many fine performers, to being behind the scenes creating astounding floral arrangements, keeping the green room and dressing rooms stocked with healthy snacks, assisting with many meals for rehearsing and performing musicians, and keeping the table linens laundered and pressed.
Year-round volunteers are just as necessary to the operations of Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival. Joining lively office parties to prepare our annual mailings and assisting with parking and programs at off-season concerts and events are only a few of the ways Festival volunteers make a big impact.
Contact OICMF if you would like to volunteer! Call (360) 376-6636 or email .
Host a Festival Artist
During our summer season, between 20 and 50 guest artists perform at the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival, each staying anywhere from three days to two weeks. The Festival houses our artists in private homes, which is a wonderful way for members of the Orcas Island community to connect with world-class artists, and many of our home hosts have made lasting friendships with the artists they have housed. If you have a guest cottage or a private guest bedroom with a private bath in your home, we’d love to hear from you. Contact the OICMF office at (360) 376-6636 or send us an email at and we will come for a visit!
