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

October 24

The Crescendo: An Evening for Chamber Music

Our annual fundraising dinner moves to Sun Mountain Lodge on Saturday, October 24 — dinner, auction, and a rare performance of Villa-Lobos for eight cellos led by Artistic Director Kevin Krentz.

Last year's dinner sold out in under a week. Tickets open soon; join the email list to be first in line.

OCTOBER 1 -31

Give Methow

All October, our valley gives together. From October 1–31, GiveMethow.org makes it easy to support one or more Methow Valley nonprofits in a single gift.

The minimum gift is just $10, and credit card fees are covered — 100% of your donation reaches the organizations you choose.

Every gift to the festival keeps world-class music in the Methow. Giving opens October 1.

February 5th & 7th, 2027

Winter Concert

The Festival's February tradition returns with two performances: Friday evening, February 5, and a Sunday matinee on February 7 — an intimate afternoon or evening of chamber music in the heart of the valley's winter.

Program and tickets announced in November.

Summer Festival 2027 - Save the Dates

Our 31st season arrives next June: Centerstage Concerts June 17, 19, 24 & 26, with open rehearsals throughout the festival weeks.

Artists and programs announced this winter — and gift certificates are available now, the perfect present for the music lover in your life.

Thrilling
Artists

The Festival brings together talented, high-energy professional musicians who are exciting to watch and inspiring to hear. Our musicians are winners of national and international performance awards. Many hold positions in major symphony orchestras, while others have built careers as soloists.
