Winter Harbor Music Festival

Winter Harbor Music Festival Bringing together musicians of different ages and stages, with world class artists, in performance,

The quaint lobstering village of Winter Harbor is a relaxed vacation spot, drawing tourists from around the world. Unforgettable views of Mount Desert Island and the open ocean, dramatic rock formations, thunder holes, hiking trails and opportunities for whale watching are some of the reasons why people return to this rarely visited section of Acadia, year after year. Our week-long Music Festival

offers instrumentalists and singers a unique opportunity to study and perform together, as solo, chamber, choral and orchestral musicians. Participants work with a faculty of internationally acclaimed artists and teachers, in ensemble coaching sessions, master classes and choral-orchestral rehearsals; private lessons are available as well. Collaboration in performance with artist faculty is an important element of the program. Instrumentalists and singers have daily chamber music coaching. All participants are offered performance opportunities, with distinguished faculty, in historic Hammond Hall, daily workshops, and musical evening 'soirees' at Point Alva.

Meet the cast: Don Giovanni, “Donna Anna” and “Zerlina” covers

Nora Dahle (Donna Anna cover) is a soprano with a passion for opera and theater. She is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Music Performance, as well as a Bachelor of Science in Arts Administration at Morningside University. With vocal training under teachers Shannon Salyards-Burton and Whitney Werner, she has cultivated a strong foundation in classical vocal technique. Nora has portrayed a variety of roles on stage, most recently as Lauretta in Gianni Schicchi, Edith in Pirates of Penzance, and Rusty in Footloose. When Nora is not in the practice room or on stage, she loves crafting, reading, and playing games with friends. Her passion for the arts is matched by her dedication and commitment to artistic and professional growth.

Megan Ortman (Zerlina cover) is a multi-hyphenate musician, arts administrator, and researcher based in Washington, DC. An active performer in the DMV and greater East Coast area, Megan is thrilled to return to WHMF. Her repertoire spans from the 14th to 21st Centuries, with recent roles including Despina (Così fan tutte), Sally (Die Fledermaus), Marcellina (Le nozze di Figaro), and Erste Knabe (Die Zauberflöte) — hooray for Mozart! As an award-winning historian, Megan has researched music of all kinds across the Atlantic World, including Scott Joplin’s Treemonisha, Theodor Adorno’s commentary on jazz, the political power of 19th-Century prima donnas, Early Modern American song sheets, and the songs of Troubadour women in 12th-Century Occitania. Megan graduated summa cm laude from The George Washington University with degrees in both music and history. During the day, Megan serves in the Development Department of Ford’s Theatre Society, where Lincoln’s Legacy Lives. When not working on her many projects, she can be found knitting!
