Oregon Coast Music Festival Events

Haydn Celebration became the Oregon Coast Music Festival.

The Festival grew over the next ten years to encompass two weeks and three weekends of varied performances. In 1991, James Paul, a guest conductor of the 1989 Festival, became festival music director and conductor. As they enter their 22nd season, the Oregon Coast Music Festival includes two chamber music performances, a choral concert, three or more folk and ethnic music performances, a jazz concert, and three orchestra concerts every July. The Festival Orchestra attracts players from across the United States and guest artists of international stature.
