ABOUT SMF
Named a "Critic's Pick" (The Washington Post), Staunton Music Festival has been presenting acclaimed concerts and world-class musicians in Staunton's historic downtown since 1998. Since that time the Festival has grown to become a regional and national destination for music lovers, drawn by the eclectic and original programming as well as the superlative musicianship and charm of the small city. Today the Festival relies on the tireless efforts of its small staff, active Board of Directors, and over 100 volunteers.
