The Willamette Valley Chamber Music Festival is a dynamic festival of classical music concerts in Oregon wine country.  Founded by violinist Sasha Callahan, cellist Leo Eguchi and arts and community leader Eve Callahan with a focus on blending vibrant new works with the established chamber music canon - all alongside the Willamette Valley’s world-class wine. WVCMF's mission is to celebrate, educate and enrich the lives of Oregon communities through access to diverse musical performances, musicians and composers.

 

The Festival’s activities include its annual summer festival of chamber music concerts in Oregon wineries, free family concerts, educational activities, and community engagement. 

 

A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, WVCMF was formed in the fall of 2015 and has been delighting consistently sold out audiences since. Attracting world-renowned composers including Osvaldo Golijov, Joan Tower, Jessie Montgomery, Daniel Bernard Roumain, Gabriela Lena Frank and Kenji Bunch, the Willamette Valley Chamber Music Festival has quickly established itself as one of the most compelling young artistic projects in the region.
