Enriching Lives through Music
At the heart of our festival is a passion for people and the special moments that bring us together.
Whether it is our inclusive programming, education initiatives, or efforts to lower access barriers to the arts, community is central to our work to share, enrich, and celebrate this special place.
Our Deep Roots in the Valley
We believe that music is for all, and are passionate about lowering financial, social and physical barriers to access to the arts. This starts with the friendly, warm environment of our winery events, but includes our completely free, Spanish bilingual family concerts every Friday of the Festival at 10:30am at the Tualatin Public Library. Here, with easy bus access, we offer our music to all our neighbors: kids, fixed income elders, and passersby that didn’t know that were about to have their day brightened!
We also believe in the importance of teaching the next generation of our community, and are excited to continue our years-long partnership with the Junior Orchestra of Yamhill Co. (JOY), an organization providing free music and string education access to the Yamhill Co., and the only rural El Sistema program in Oregon. In our work with the incredible kids of JOY, we provide coaching, mentorship, and exposure to internationally acclaimed composers and musicians, building lasting relationships that inspire in both directions.
