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 music education programs for school students and community musicians, talks with world-renowned musical experts, and concerts in stunning settings, such as our intimate Salon Concerts in private homes, our annual Leaves of Gold concert in the Music Room of the Mansion at Rosario Resort, and our Outdoor Concerts on the Stage on 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; 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!
