Bravo, Oliver!

We would like to offer our heartiest congratulations to OICMF Alumni Artist Oliver Aldort!

Raised on Orcas Island, Oliver received his degree from the Curtis Institute of Music. He has been Assistant Principal Cello with the Boston Symphony Orchestra since 2015 and last month he was named 1st principal cello at the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the oldest and one of the greatest civic symphony orchestras in the world.

Congratulations, Oliver!

Flowers!

Everyone knows one thing that makes the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival truly special is our spectacular flower displays. They grace the stage, the lobby, receptions, dressing rooms, rest rooms, everywhere, and their beauty is truly exquisite. If you’ve always wanted to be a part of creating this magic, the OICMF Flower Team would love to hear from you! Don’t worry if you aren’t a wizard flower arranger – there are many ways to help produce all this beauty before, during, and after the actual arranging. If you'd like to be around flowers and a group of fun and talented individuals, or if you’re able to pitch in by sharing some of the bounty of your garden, please write Mary at mary@oicmf.org. We look forward to seeing what you help create!
