Electrifying concerts. Premiere performances. Thought-provoking
presentations. Audiences love coming to Port Townsend to experience
chamber music in a stunningly beautiful environment. As musicians from
around the nation live and work with master artists, audiences attend
free weeknight workshop presentations, culminating in concert
presentations Friday and Saturday night.

For the 2007 Festival, we welcome Pulitzer Prize winning composer Paul Moravec and Trio Solisti, who along with Artistic Director Helen Callus and the rest of the artist faculty, will leave audiences clamoring for more.
