Annual Campaign

Your generous support makes it possible for us to create a place where great artists, great music and a wonderful Festival community come together and celebrate artistic beauty in profound new ways.

Did you know that it takes more than 30 musicians, a devoted board of directors, a passionate artistic director, a dedicated executive director and nearly 100 volunteers to create and produce the Sitka Summer Music Festival each season?

However, what makes the Festival complete is you – your presence, your interest, your passion. Whether in Sitka, Anchorage or any number of other communities where we perform touring concerts, you are what makes it possible.

The Sitka Summer Music Festival flourishes and returns year after year because of your ongoing support and we deeply appreciate your donation.

The Festival thrives only because of generous support from numerous corporations, individuals and government agencies.

Alaska Airlines has been a major contributor for more than two decades, and we are eternally thankful. The National Endowment for the Arts, and the Alaska State Council on the Arts have continued to provide much-needed support, as have the City and Borough of Sitka and the Municipality of Anchorage. The Sitka Alaska Permanent Charitable Trust supports many activities in Sitka, including the Festival.

The Sitka Summer Music Festival Foundation has been generously supported by the late Mr. George Ishiyama and the Ishiyama Foundation, the estate of Helen Walker, and by Grace Berg Schaible.
