From August 10-20, Sunriver Music Festival presents its 49th season in two spectacular, historic Central Oregon venues — the Sunriver Resort Great Hall and the Tower Theatre in downtown Bend. Performances feature world-class orchestra musicians and renowned soloists, led by Artistic Director & Conductor Brett Mitchell. The Festival includes four classical concerts, a pops concert, and a family concert, each with the full Festival Orchestra and featured soloists of great acclaim.

The Raise the Baton fundraising party is on July 18 at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon in Bend. Help make the music happen while enjoying performances and conversations with Young Artists Scholarship recipients — some of Central Oregon’s most advanced young musicians. Hosted by Maestro Brett Mitchell and Auctioneer Molly May of Marquam Agency, this is sure to be a fun evening, with lively auctions, paddle raise, entertainment, and delicious dinner and drinks. Visit sunrivermusic.org today to reserve your seat. The Raise the Baton paddle raise directly funds the Young Artists Scholarships.
