What a wonderful week of music! 🎶

Across five nights, we heard from immensely talented and passionate artists who filled our evenings with joy and beautiful sound.

The Air Force Band of the Golden West opened the festival with a bang and Sybarite5 had great energy on stage. Finally, the Girsky String Quartet wowed us with works by Britten and Beethoven. We are honored to have brought such incredible passion and talent to the Walla Walla Valley.

Exciting news! You won’t have to wait long for more music. This March, we’re thrilled to welcome the Vital Quartet for a special performance at House of Smith. Tickets are available now at WWCMF.org.
