The festival is dedicated to hosting a world-class, 3-day event which contributes vibrancy to the local community, brings our island neighbors together, establishes lasting connections with visitors, and encourages the expression of music in local young people. Our motivation is to provide an inspirational event that brings joy, builds a sense of community, generates revenue for Whidbey Island businesses, and creates musical opportunities for local students by offering scholarships and sponsoring instrument programs designed to provide equal access to music—impacting generations to come.

We proactively recognize and encourage engagement with the festival from all corners of our community, from all age groups, diverse cultures, economic backgrounds, and musical genres. We strive for diverse representation on our board, in fund development, and in the performers who appear on our stages.
The festival has returned more than $100,000 to our community's young musicians through our scholarships for Whidbey's graduating seniors and through our Quarter Note Fund which puts musical instruments directly in the hands of local middle schoolers.
We are dedicated to the idea that students with passion for music, and talent and desire to learn, should have an obstacle-free chance to follow their dreams.
