“Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music”

— Sergei Rachmaninov

JOIN OUR FAMILY OF SUPPORTERS World-class musicians and the natural beauty of Orcas Island come together to create something magical – the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival. It’s a truly unique experience for all who attend, and the memories can last a lifetime. The Festival has grown to include music education programs for students and community musicians, as well as intimate Salon Concerts, Pre- and Post- Concert Lectures and Music Lovers’ Seminars.
