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.

Unique Concerts

From Beethoven to Bohemian Rhapsody, each Centerstage concert mixes familiar, new and flamboyantly virtuosic chamber music. The string instruments are accented with horn, percussion, woodwind or voice to create a distinctive program, expertly curated by Artistic Director Kevin Krentz.

The Festival resides at Signal Hill Ranch, a secluded 400-acre estate nestled at the base of the Cascade Mountains in the Methow Valley. An intimate concert hall, picnic grounds, local food and beverages at the outdoor Ice House, and ample parking are just a few of the surprises that await you this summer.

Each Centerstage concert begins with a prologue for 8 strings and narrator, with words by Weston Gaylord and music by Paul Wiancko. This rendition was recorded live at the Summer Festival.
