At The Music Oasis, we believe in music as a bridge between people. This retreat is where everyday individuals—artists, dreamers, professionals, and music lovers—come together to create, perform, and rediscover what truly moves them! The week of  singing, writing, recording and performing workshops at the Doctorow Center for the Arts in Hunter culminates in a show at the beautiful Orpheum Performing Arts Center in Tannersville.

Now in its 28th year, the Catskill Mountain Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization which offers a variety of programs and workshops centered on the arts. It owns and runs The Orpheum Performing Arts Center, The Doctorow Center for the Arts (which includes the Mountain Cinema, a performance space, and the Piano Performance Museum), Sugar Maples Center for Creative Arts, a Natural Agriculture farm and the Guide Magazine. The Foundation has long term partnership programs with The Joyce Theater Foundation, Works & Process at the Guggenheim, the National Dance Institute and Catskill Mountain Shakespeare, and is also home to the Hunter International Music Festival, The Academy of Fortepiano Performance, the Orpheum Dance Program, and the Maude Adams Theater Hub.
