The Pacific Crest Music Festival for 2016 is happening at Pops Performing Arts and Cultural Center in picturesque Dunsmuir. It is a highly intensive international music program in which hand selected students are invited to work, rehearse, and perform alongside the outstanding professional faculty.

PCMF is typically comprised of approximately 10 to 15 students artists, and a faculty of six to eight.  It is this incredible ratio that leads to an extremely personalized and individualized experience for each member.  There will be an incredible group of kids coming this year.  One from Uruguay, three from Japan, and as well as Los Angeles and other young amazing musicians from around the US.

During their stay, the young musicians will work in smaller chamber groups as well as performing in the PCMF Chamber Orchestra.  Each group consists of both student artists and faculty, providing every student artist with an opportunity to experience rehearsals and performances at a professional standard.

Sunday, August 7, 7 pm – Student Performance, Free Public Event
