The
Olympic Music Festival
, based in
Port Townsend, Washington
, is a
classical music
event founded by Alan Iglitzin featuring world-renowned musicians.
For 32 seasons, concerts were held in a barn nestled on 55 acres of farmland in
Quilcene, Washington
.
The music festival was founded in 1984 by Alan Iglitzin, who originally intended his farm to be a summer performance venue for the
Philadelphia String Quartet
, of which Alan Iglitzin was the founding
violist
. When people heard that the Philadelphia String Quartet was going to be practicing at a barn near Quilcene, people began to inquire as to whether there would be an opportunity to hear the Quartet there and Iglitzin began to consider creating a festival.
The Olympic Music Festival was voted "Best Classical Music Festival" by readers of The
Seattle Weekly
.
