Redfish Excited to Announce Concert with Local Musicians

The south coast is a wonderful place to live, and all the more so because

there are some wonderful local musicians in residence who perform and 

keep the local classical music scene alive and vibrant with their sounds.

We would like to help get the word out about  an event which is happening soon. 

Cellist Dace Sultanov and friends Ali Jones (on piano), Cathleen Williams (on bassoon), 

Mary Moore (on clarinet) perform August 27, Sunday at 3 pm at Zion Lutheran Church, 

20th & Washington, Port Orford, admission is by donation. There will be a 

reception with refreshments to follow the performance. 

In addition to hearing these wonderful local musicians perform, you will also be 

supporting the restoration of the Zion Lutheran Church building. Redfish has a 

great debt of gratitude to Zion Lutheran Church, as it is our “birthplace” of sorts, so

we are excited to see the building get some attention.

Violinist Fritz Gearhart and pianist Alexander Tutunov performed three concerts at the beginning of April for our spring tour. The concerts were a big success and audience attendance was up at each event. Redfish Music Festival thanks all of you who attended our performances! You are keeping the torch light of classical music alive for everyone to experience! We thank you! Below is a short clip of Alex and Fritz warming up for the Port Orford concert.

RMF Receives OAC and NEA Grant!

The Redfish Music Festival is so excited to announce that we received a grant from the Oregon Arts Commission: Arts Build Communities. This is certainly true with RMF! We are developing communities in all of the towns where we perform! Our goal is that each town considers RMF their own arts organization. We are looking for motivated board members to help guide us through the next phase of our growth. See the SUPPORT page for more information on how you can partner with Redfish. We are so honored and excited to print the words: The Redfish Music Festival is supported by funds from the Oregon Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.

RMF Starts Fall Fundraising Drive!

Our second year was a great success and we are looking forward to year three! So much has happened since we received our nonprofit status in January of 2021. Our goal is to build a sustainable organization that will continue to bring beautiful music to the south coast region. We have taken some important steps this fall, including engaging professional accounting help and year-round insurance coverage. These steps, although not outwardly exciting, are important for our growth. They do carry with them some financial responsibility. Please consider donating to our fall fundraising drive, visit our fundraising page and read our fall letter.
