Welcome to our 96th Summer Festival

Close your eyes and imagine being at Music Mountain. What comes to mind? Here are some of the responses I got: the thrill of experiencing extraordinary performances up close; unbelievably vibrant new interpretations of familiar masterpieces; the positive energy I felt after each concert; engaging in fun conversations; finding new friends; being part of a very special community…

Gathering in person to listen to live music is a unique and increasingly rare, shared experience that has never been more important. That may be why our last two seasons have seen an incredible 30% growth in attendance. Music Mountain is the place to be on weekends from June 1 through September 14. 

Sundays at 3 PM feature the great chamber music we are known for, including several pre-concert talks, family concerts, and post-concert receptions. Saturdays at 7 PM this year are organized into three distinct series: three stellar classical piano recitals on Saturdays in June feature Misha Dichter, Fei-Fei, and Wynona Wang; Jazz at Music Mountain takes up Saturdays in July and August; and Saturdays in September bring back two all-time favorites. All Saturday events can be combined with a Pre-Concert Dinner at the Falls Village Inn, a Litchfield County landmark, followed by a 10-minute scenic drive to Music Mountain. 

If you enjoy music and painting, please, sign up for Painting Music on July 10, and if you wish to immerse yourself in a friendly community of chamber music lovers, while learning from the Arianna String Quartet, please, sign up for Chamberfest, taking place July 6-11. 

Our mountaintop campus remains casual and friendly, a beautiful green oasis in one of the smallest towns in New England. Come join us.

Musically yours,

Oskar Espina Ruiz
