The Festival brings exciting musicians and high-flying programs to the Methow Valley using a mere fraction of the budget employed by our sister festivals. We do this by challenging our artists to perform to the highest standards alongside like-minded peers and by multiplying the efforts of our staff with scores of volunteers and supporters. That combination cre- ates a stable of artists who are excited to be here and who enjoy playing for a very involved, very responsive audience. Year after year artists re- port to me what a joy it is to play at this Festival. By expecting greatness and listening for every nuance, you inspire them. You inspire me. Audience members often comment that they enjoy the variety of our programs. That variety derives in part from my efforts to include great works by less well-known compos- ers. By analogy, if you watched only movies produced by the most famous directors, you would miss many great photo: Marcy Stamper experiences. The works I have selected by Krasa, Schnittke, Smetana, Suk, Glazunov, Chausson, and Boccherini are won- derful and I picked them all with the belief that you will love them when they are brought to life this summer. The program includes a touch of bluegrass from international classical star violinist Tessa Lark and, direct from Yo Yo Ma’s Silk Road Project, we bring you Hu Jianbing, one of the world’s foremost players of the ancient and revered Chinese sheng. Add to that some great cello quartet music, the debut of our first aerialist, an American pop song set, and two original works written by our own performers and I hope that this year’s Festival will delight you and keep you coming back with high expecta- tions year after year. Artistic Director A Family owned company in the Methow for 26 years.

    "If there were more Cynthia Phelpses around, there might be more viola recitals…she is a master of her instrument -- remarkable technique and warm, full sound." – THE WALL STREET JOURNAL "Not only does CYNTHIA PHELPS produce one of the richest, deepest viola timbres in the world, she is a superb musician" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). Principal Violist of the New York Philharmonic, Ms. Phelps has distinguished herself both here and abroad as one of the leading instrumentalists of our time. The recipient of numerous honors and awards, including the Pro Musicis International Award and first prize at both the Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition and the Washington International String Competition, she has captivated audiences with her compelling solo and chamber music performances. She is "a performer of top rank...the sounds she drew were not only completely unproblematical --technically faultless, generously nuanced-- but sensuously breathtaking" (The Boston Globe). Ms. Phelps performs throughout the world as soloist with orchestras, including the Minnesota Orchestra, Shanghai, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Eastern Music Festival and Vermont Symphonies, Orquesta Sinfonica de Bilbao, and Rochester and Hong Kong Philharmonic among others. World-wide, her electrifying solo appearances with the New York Philharmonic garner raves; they have included Berlioz's Harold in Italy, the Bartok Viola Concerto, Strauss's Don Quixote, the Benjamin Lees Concerto for String Quartet, the premiere of a concerto written for her by Sofia Gubaidulina and most recently, the premiere of a new concerto by the young composer Julia Adolphe written for her. She has appeared as soloist with the orchestra across the globe, including Vienna’s Musikverein, London’s Royal Festival Hall, and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam among others.

Our Winter Festival was a great success with full houses at every concert. More tickets were sold at the Summer Festival in July than have ever been sold in our 31-year history. Our first-ever free outdoor concert in Volunteer Park in July drew an astounding 1,800 people! Concert reviews were uniformly enthusiastic; our performances are now widely recognized as some of the best in the country. Seattle Chamber Music Society lost a dear friend this year with the untimely passing of board member Max Gellert. Max’s reach in the Seattle arts community was broad and he will be missed. We dedicated our 2012 Summer Festival to Max, whose thoughtful questions and quiet generosity provided support and guidance for many years.
