Siletz Bay Music Festival is an annual event held in Lincoln City, Oregon, featuring a diverse range of chamber music, jazz, and symphonic music performances. The festival showcases talented artists and musicians from around the world, offering a unique and immersive musical experience for attendees.
One of the festival's standout events is "My Words Are My Sword," a groundbreaking musical drama that combines jazz, hip-hop, and classical music to explore the African American experience in America. This powerful orchestral piece incorporates spoken word, poetry, and the words of influential figures such as Frederick Douglas, Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, and Martin Luther King, Jr. The festival also pays tribute to the late Yaacov Yaki Bergman, the festival's former artistic director, who provided guidance and inspiration to the event before his passing in 2023.
