Rustic Elegance in a Peaceful Mountain Setting

Icicle Creek Music Center stages many of its concerts and some of its educational programming at Sleeping Lady Mountain Retreat, a conference facility that showcases the Northwest's natural beauty. Sleeping Lady's mission is to provide a year-round retreat where nature, performing arts, outdoor recreation, and healthful dining "inspire reverence for Earth's life-giving wellspring." With meeting spaces connected by woodland paths and quiet places for reflection along a mountain-fed river, Sleeping Lady Mountain Retreat is uniquely conducive to community and creativity.

Icicle Creek's founders first met with Harriet Bullitt, Sleeping Lady Mountain Retreat founder, in 1993 when both organizations were still on the drawing boards. Together they formed a vision for how the Sleeping Lady Mountain Retreat setting and performance spaces would complement Icicle Creek's artistic mission, and how the performing arts would enhance the conference experience at Sleeping Lady Mountain Retreat.

Icicle Creek's annual Chamber Music Festival takes place in Sleeping Lady Chapel Theater, a picturesque setting for the intimate chamber concerts. Other concerts are performed on the outdoor stage overlooking the Icicle River, or on the Meadow outdoor stage on the music center campus. Icicle Creek supports Sleeping Lady's commitment to the arts by administering the Sleeping Lady Performance Series, diverse performances from Celtic music to Bluegrass to Flamenco.
