Zoom song circles 2nd and 4th Sunday.
In-person song circles occasional Sundays.
Local Folk
Local Folk has not happened for a while but will be making a return very soon! Details soon! When it does, it’ll be a free, monthly, open stage of local artists offering Bach to Bok as well as original music. Anyone can sign up, right before, and the acoustics are very good, with a grand piano if you need it.
Festivals
We have hosted a number of festivals in the past. Our most recent festival has been the Corvallis Celtic Festival. We finished the 2nd annual in 2024 hosting several days of concerts, workshops, and community activities and festivities at the Corvallis Library, Corvallis Central Park, and our first appearances at PRAx.
