Thirty seasons of world-class
chamber music in the Methow
Since 1996, extraordinary musicians have gathered in the valley each summer to make music among friends. The music continues this fall
— join us.
Coming This Fall
SEPTEMBER 5
Portland Cello Project: A Tribute to Stevie Wonder
One night only — Portland's famed cello collective returns to the valley, reimagining Stevie Wonder's songbook from Superstition to Isn't She Lovely.
For more than two decades, Portland Cello Project has taken the cello places it rarely goes, blending classical craft with pop, jazz, and soul. Their Methow stop brings that spirit to one unforgettable September evening.
Presented in partnership with Methow Arts.
OCTOBER - TBA
Our Annual Fundraising Dinner
An evening of great food, live music, and giving at Casia Lodge — the festival's biggest night of the year.
Last year's dinner sold out and raised critical funds for the summer season. This fall we're making it an annual tradition, with festival musicians providing the soundtrack to a night of dining and community.
And it still needs a name: entries are rolling in now, and voting opens soon in our newsletter. Winner gets two free dinner tickets!
Date announced this summer.
