Founded in March of 1990, the Oakmont Concert Series presents one concert per month throughout the year, usually on the second Thursday at 1:30 pm. The concert season therefore operates from January through December annually.
Concerts take place on the stage of Berger Hall, 6633 Oakmont Drive, an auditorium seating 400 and located in Oakmont, an hour north of San Francisco, approximately 7 miles from downtown Santa Rosa, and in the heart of the Sonoma Valley Wine Country.
The piano on stage is a 9' Yamaha CFIIIS Concert Grand backed up by a hardwood acoustic shell that enables both the audience and the performers to enjoy excellent sound.
Operating as a non-profit organization on an annual budget of $17,000 per year, the programs consist of classical vocal and instrumental solos and chamber ensembles. No tickets are sold, a nominal admission fee being paid at the entrance by a typical audience of 200 - 400.
We are listed in MUSICAL AMERICA and, as a result, our musicians come from all over North America although many live in the Greater Bay Area and often are members of symphony and opera orchestras.
