To be a community catalyst for arts, culture, and education

Mission

  • The Festival strives to cultivate cultural and ethnic diversity and to pursue all opportunities to inspire, enlighten, and educate our community with the greatest possible music and performing arts of the world: forms new and old, artists known and unknown.

  • The Festival strives to present a range of classical symphonic, jazz, blues, folk, world, family, and popular music at prices which are affordable to our local audiences, thereby making Sandpoint a better place to live.

  • The Festival strives to present its concerts in an intimate setting which celebrates the natural beauty and charm of our small city, thereby making Sandpoint a better place to visit.

Through the medium of music, we will unite people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, and belief systems and help our community connect, cooperate, and care for each other.
