Icicle Creek Center for the Arts is proud to present the 28th annual Icicle Creek Chamber Music Festival with twelve live-streamed and in-person performances from Canyon Wren Recital Hall and Snowy Owl Theater. This year's Festival is dedicated to the memory and legacy of Harriet Bullitt, whose dream of creating an oasis for arts and education in North Central Washington brought Icicle Creek into existence. We honor her immense generosity, passion for the arts, spirit of adventure, and desire to bring people together through creative endeavors. Harriet's mission of bringing transformative artistic experiences to everyone is particularly resonant at this moment in time and we are honored to continue this legacy.
