Looking back at the Festival

Sitka Summer Music Festival
Alaska Business Monthly, June, 2000, by Steve Pilkington
I went on a web search, looking for past articles on the Festival. I really liked the one above because Heather McLean, our former Executive Director, describes the beauty and magic of the stage in Sitka so well.

Here are some others (not already linked to on our website):

Cleveland Music Festival's Festival Guide -- talks about how amazing it is that we have managed to survive in Sitka for so long (a town of only 8,000). Luckily for us, Sitkans are lovers of great art!

The Festival is now part of the PFD Charitable Contributions Program

The Sitka Summer Music Festival is pleased to announce that we are part of the new PFD Charitable Contributions Program for 2009. The Alaska Legislature passed a law in 2008 making this new way to give possible for all Alaskans filing for their PFD on-line.
