Foundations support High Desert Chamber Music educational outreach programs
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) – High Desert Chamber Music is honored to receive foundation support from the Clark Foundation ($2,500) and the Deschutes Cultural Coalition ($1,500) this year.

1) Visits to Local Schools
2) Master Class
3) Spotlight Chamber Players
