In August 2027 the Summer Festival will return for its 29th season. Some of the planned highlights include a grand French-themed program on opening night followed by a Jazz Nightcap; Beethoven's Ninth Symphony as finale, preceded by an extended lecture from Prof. Scott Burnham; two nights of staged Dido and Aeneas at Blackfriars Playhouse; an all-Schumann celebration; a rarely performed modern masterpiece, CRY, for 28 amplified voices by Giles Swayne; chamber works from across five centuries; Nightcaps, daily morning Pop-Ups, and so much more. 

If you're planning to come for the entire August festival, consider purchasing the discounted Summer Pass. Pass holders enjoy priority seat selection before sales are opened to the general public. For non-local guests, we also recommend booking lodging well in advance.

DETAILED PROGRAMS WILL BE POSTED ONLINE BY JANUARY 1, 2027.
