Festival Production
Adrienne Welsh, Operations Manager. An alumna of Trinity College of Music, London, Adrienne was a freelance cellist and cello teacher before moving to Denver, Colorado and embarking on a career in Information Technology. After leaving the corporate world and moving to the Oregon Coast she returned to teaching and playing cello, until in 2019 she was encouraged by Maestro Yaki Bergman to join the staff of Siletz Bay Music Festival, where she could combine her tech background with her love of music.
Festival Assistant Josie Dornhecker grew up in the Willamette Valley of Oregon and spent all her summers on the beautiful Oregon Coast. Her adventures led her to Olympia, Washington and as far as Kansas City, but it was a deep appreciation for the glorious terrain and ocean breezes of the Oregon Coast that led her to Lincoln City.
Her career started in healthcare administration, working in hospitals and clinics for Kaiser and Providence. She then pivoted to a banking career in small business loans and commercial lending. While living in Portland, she always enjoyed being a patron of and attending Oregon Symphony Orchestra events.
It was through her current position at Lincoln City UCC that she was introduced to the Siletz Bay Music Festival. She had the pleasure of meeting Yaki Bergman, as well as many of the extraordinary artists, board members, and volunteers that create the magic of this yearly festival. She found it transforming and awe-inspiring to have such talented musicians and classical music be so accessible. She is honored to get to help bring this beloved event to our communities this year. In her spare time, she is an avid music lover, and enjoys playing both piano and guitar. She also loves vegan cooking, dog-sitting, and getting her toes in the sand as much as possible.
