Volunteer Opportunities
If you’ve never hosted a musician or volunteered for the Festival before, please consider joining now! We are always in need of hosts and volunteers. Below is a brief description of what you can do to assist us:
Housing Musicians
Donating housing to orchestra musicians and guest artists is a very important way Bear Valley (and nearby) homeowners can support the Festival. We ensure that your condo or cabin is managed with the highest level of care and professionalism. If you are staying in your home during the Festival and can house a musician in your spare bedroom, this can also be a mutually enriching experience, and often leads to a lasting friendship built around your love of music.
It’s wonderful to have them in our community. It’s something many of us look forward to as an iconic part of Bear Valley summers.
