Welcome to Caramoor's 64th International Music Festival. It has been a difficult year for most of us, and we all need the power of music to restore our buffeted souls, and Caramoor is the ideal place to find it! This season we will survey a wide variety of musical styles, nationalities, and performers at the highest level of inspiration and excellence. Each concert offers a unique opportunity, whether it’s spending quality time with the whole family at Dancing at Dusk and Family Concerts, communing with the spirit of the classical masters, or enjoying the real world contemporary sounds of Jazz and Sonidos Latinos.
Caramoor provides a perfect environment for the deep enjoyment of music. It is a place to check your worries at the gate, drop your shoulders, take a deep breath, and allow music to enter your soul.
This coming fall you won't want to miss our new Fall Festival. I hope you will take the opportunity to visit us in October for this exciting venture.
