2010.... A SEASON TO LOOK FORWARD TO... and our second in a world-class venue with sound that resonates. 2009... a crowd pleasing success, with thrilling programs, hot-blooded talent, and a venue that is a feast for both the eyes and ears. The festival has passed a major milestone in its journey to be the important national festival that its caretakers want it to be.

Longtime Northwest favorite pianist, Craig Sheppard, said, "Kevin (Krentz, artistic director) has really something special here. You can just feel it, this is the beginning of a major happening." With multiple standing ovations at each of the main concerts, he was clearly not the only one feeling that energy.

2010 is the year to focus on expanding the festival's offerings. We will feature a program which includes local talented young musicians, as well as bring in two string quartets and two piano trios. We hope to add further program dimension by adding some less traditional instruments and possibly some dance. The sky is the limit when you are a mile high off the Methow Valley floor, and the sound is superb and the views endless.

Mark you calendars: July 30 - August 7, 2010.
