 The Oregon Music Hall of Fame (OMHOF) is a new, non-profit organization that was created to help preserve Oregon's unique musical heritage. Our focus is to recognize and promote the legacy of exceptional Oregon musicians of the past, promote promising new Oregon musicians of today, and to enrich Oregon music education programs in order to train our musicians of tomorrow.
You can become a member of OMHOF for just $30.00 a year. When you become a member you will receive a membership card and will receive periodic updates on the progress of OMHOF. We will also notify you about our upcoming concerts and fundraising events. You will also have the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping to preserve and promote the musical arts in the State of Oregon.
OMHOF's long-term goal is to have a building that will house our Hall of Fame, displaying exhibits and memorabilia from Oregon's great musical talents. We will also host musical education events and, hopefully, have room for hosting concerts. In the meantime, we will be collecting Oregon music memorabilia, offer music scholarships to college bound musicians, and promote music education in Oregon's grade and middle schools.
