Highlights of Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival's 20th Season will include the return of many Festival favorite artists, including William and Alexandra Preucil, Martin Chalifour, Chee-Yun, David Harding, Bion Tsang, Desmond Hoebig, Anne Martindale Williams, Michael Collins, Timothy McAllister, Lorna McGhee, Jeffrey Kahane, the Miró Quartet, and our Artistic Leaders, Aloysia Friedmann and Jon Kimura Parker. Rising star violinist Benjamin Beilman will join the Festival for the first time, and we have commissioned a new work for saw and string quartet by Jake Heggie.

The season will also bring the return of the Children's Concert, Open Rehearsal for Seniors, Know the Score lectures, Pre-Concert Talks, Hamlet Concerts, and OICMF on Lopez.  We are thrilled to offer our quinquennial gift to the island, the free Concert in the Park, this year featuring the return of Jon Kimura Parker and the OICMF Stage Band performing Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.

Wishing you all the best for the holiday season and looking forward to a tuneful 2017. Thank you for your interest and support, which makes it all possible and worthwhile.
