World-class musicians and the natural beauty of Orcas Island come together to create the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival. It’s a truly unique experience for all who attend, and the memories last a lifetime. The Festival has grown to include several Mainstage concerts, music education programs for school students and community members, talks with world-renowned musical experts, concerts in beautiful settings such as our intimate Salon Concerts in private homes, holiday concerts in the Music Room of the Mansion at Rosario, and summer Outdoor Concerts at the Eastsound Village Green. None of this would be possible without our fabulous donors and volunteers.
There are many ways that friends and supporters of classical music can help the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival. Some ways of helping are financial, and others involve an investment of your personal time and skills through volunteering.
Many supporters enjoy doing both! They say that when you volunteer you get to know and share ideas with other music lovers who are both inspired and inspiring!
