Standing Tall.

A purposeful act of strength, resilience and growth. Embracing the new while drawing from the past, and remaining resolute that your path is that which should be taken.

The 2025 Chintimini season stands tall, with a rich blend of music inspired by the natural beauty in and around the Willamette Valley. The vital beauty of trees permeates our collective experience and creates a vivid natural tapestry to ponder and explore. Music, much like the varied forest lands of Oregon, can be enjoyed like broad strokes that fill a landscape on a painter’s canvas, or in the tiniest and most introspective of ways, much like an almost-unnoticed flick of a paintbrush, unnoticed but eagerly awaiting examination. 

Each of the four concerts this season – Cherry, Oak, Douglas and Alder – bring together masterworks new and old, in programs crafted to engage your imagination and deepen your connection with the joy of chamber music.

Susan Kline: In Memoriam (1946 - 2025)

We would like to acknowledge the many years of piano tuning that Susan Kline performed for the Chintimini Chamber Music Festival. She did fine piano tuning and repair in Oregon for more than 30 years, including concert tunings for noted international artists. She retired from her profession in late 2023. She was widely admired in musical circles for her dedication and skill in her profession.
