Amenities
Host homes are expected to provide a private room with either a private or a shared bathroom for each musician housed. The host family is not expected to provide housing for spouses, children, friends, or pets. However, this can be agreed to in advance, if acceptable to the host family. Kitchen privileges and/or laundry facility access is appreciated but not required.
Location
Jacksonville is the ideal location to house our musicians, since most of them come to the valley without a vehicle. However, we also house musicians with families in Medford, Central Point, Talent, Phoenix, and Ashland. Host families living outside of Jacksonville are not required to provide transportation, although a loaner vehicle or occasional rides to the rehearsals and concerts is appreciated if available.
Availability
Host a musician for the full three-week season, or choose a shorter time frame that works for you.
Location
Jacksonville is the ideal location for our musicians, but we also accept homestays in Medford, Central Point, Phoenix, and Ashland.
Accommodation
We ask that you provide a private bedroom and bathroom facilities for each musician. (If you can also offer kitchen and laundry access, even better!)
