Reviews:

"Coos Bay may be a long way from Portland or San Francisco, but the concerts of the Oregon Coast Music Festival rival the best heard in the bigger cities. Live orchestral classical music performed before a regional audience is a rare cultural jewel. It deserves our respect and support." ----Keith Henty, JEFFERSON PUBLIC RADIO

"The concert was wonderful -- really quite an amazing performance. This was the third time I've been down to hear the OCMA orchestra, and the repertoire is always interesting, the performances spirited, and the auditorium an infinitely remarkable place to hear such music. Your festival and its orchestra are real gems."----Peter Dammann, Producer PORTLAND WATERFRONT BLUES FESTIVAL
