Raise the Baton is Sunriver Music Festival’s premier fundraiser of the year! This lively party raises vital funds for the Young Artists Scholarships and the Festival’s world-class concerts. Hosted by Maestro Brett Mitchell, the event features performances by the finest Young Artists Scholarship musicians and fun opportunities to bid and sponsor “the elements of music”: guest artists, orchestra musicians, individual concerts and musical works, and more.

Local personalities Dr. Stephen Marshall and Brett Bizik will serve as emcees keeping the party going with the fundraising opportunities. Tickets include hearty hors d’oeuvres and complimentary wine and soft drinks. Celebrating the 29th year of the Young Artists Scholarship program, Sunriver Music Festival has awarded over $700,000 to Central Oregon music students. Thanks to your donations, we are also able to create and support ongoing music education classes and programs in South Deschutes County schools in addition to presenting world-class musicians each August in the Festival orchestra.

The Raise the Baton silent auction will include the season’s original framed art by Robert Allan Hooper (entitled “Twilight Glow”), plus the opportunity to bid on/sponsor “the elements of music”: guest artists, orchestra musicians, individual concerts and musical works, solo parts, travel costs, and more. A fun way to discover the elements of music and help make the music happen!
