ORFEO CONTINUES TO BEAR THE DEVASTATING IMPACT FROM THE LOSS OF REVENUE BECAUSE OF THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC.

As we are planning the Festival in 2022, we are still facing a difficult future. As a financially independent charity, your support is vital to us.

Please make a donation to help us through this challenging time.

If you are a US taxpayer you will receive a letter from us certifying your charitable contribution. Contact us at staff@orfeomusicfestival.com.

Thank you.

Music and friendships is what matters most at Orfeo Music Festival. Our mission is to cultivate and spread the art of great music, to build a community of artistic integrity, and to make the fruits of our labor accessible to everyone. All Orfeo events and concerts are free to public including more than 60 festival events, concerts, master classes by over a hundred participants, orchestras, choir, opera scenes, chamber groups. Our talented students often give up their summer employment to be able to participate and are in need of considerable scholarship support. 

We counter the age of excessive consumption with investing in human capital. Join us. Please remember Orfeo Music Festival in your will and your annual giving.
