Winter Harbor Music

For nearly two decades, Winter Harbor Music has brought professional musicians, emerging artists, students, and community performers together to share the joy of making music on Maine's Schoodic Peninsula.

What began as the Winter Harbor Music Festival has grown into a year-round celebration of classical music, featuring concerts, chamber music, opera, and educational opportunities. Through workshops, master classes, rehearsals, and performances, musicians of different ages and experience levels have opportunities to learn from and perform alongside accomplished artists.

Now, Winter Harbor Music is preparing for an exciting new chapter.

Thanks to the generosity of the Townsend family, the former Winter Harbor Baptist Church on Main Street is being transformed into the Winter Harbor Music Center. Scheduled to open in spring 2027, the renovated building will bring performance, rehearsal, practice, and community spaces together under one roof.

The new center will provide a permanent home for Winter Harbor Music and new opportunities for musicians and audiences to connect. It's an investment not only in the future of the organization, but also in the cultural life of Winter Harbor and the surrounding Downeast community.
