The Cascade Winds is an ensemble of the region’s finest musicians dedicated to creating an entertaining and enjoyable musical experience for audiences of all ages.
We are affiliated with Central Oregon Community College and have been providing music for Central Oregon residents for over 60 years.
All of our concerts are free and open to the public. All of the musicians are selected by audition and perform on a voluntary basis.
We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. 100% of your donations go towards our direct operating expenses. The musicians and our Board of Directors serve on a strictly voluntary basis.
Our continuing fund raising goal is to cover all our concert production costs. Additionally, our ultimate goal is to raise enough funds each year to cover the tuition costs for all our volunteer musicians which currently exceed $10,000 annually.
Your generosity is greatly appreciated, and your support will help further the presence of music in Central Oregon.
