Washington Island Music Festival

Washington Island Music Festival's 34th Season

Every year in August, Washington Island welcomes its Music Festival, a series of concerts led by co-directors Stefanie Jacob, Scott Tisdel and Teresa Drews. The Festival's events are now the heart of the Island's summer music schedule.

Our mission is to present a series of extraordinary performances of chamber music led by professional musicians, to implement and support the Music in the School Program for Washington Island students, and to provide opportunities for engagement with the people of Washington Island while generating economic activity for the community. 

Our Musicians

World-class musicians donate their talents to the Festival, spending two weeks living and performing on the Island and establishing strong ties to the Island community.

Our Community

A growing outreach program complements the chamber music concerts, open rehearsals and lectures, and children's programs in the Island's beautiful performing arts center.
