This interactive series will give you a window into the lives and experiences of the remarkably talented artists who perform here.

The Walla Walla Chamber Music Festival is proud to unveil the new Portrait of an Artist series. About 27 different artists perform at WWCMF annually. These artists, whether composer, string player, wind player, or vocalist, etc., participate in the democratic process of working within a chamber ensemble. However, individually each musician brings a unique perspective and a level of personal artistry that sometimes goes unheralded. The Portrait of an Artist series gives the audience the opportunity to forge connections with individual musicians.

This interactive series will give the audience a window into the lives and experiences of the talented artists who come to Walla Walla for the Festival. Join us for this special recital, and meet your music maker!

In January, we’ll feature oboist Dan Williams. The word oboe comes from the French, hautbois, meaning high wood. This double reed instrument is both ancient and modern, exotic and familiar. Dan Williams will perform a program that covers the breadth of the oboe’s expressive possibilities. WWCMF founder and Artistic Director, Timothy Christie, will moderate.
