Music gives a soul to the universe,wings to the mind, flight to the imagination,and life to everything. — Plato

In the world of music, art and entertainment are considered mutually exclusive.

Entertainment is created for mass consumption and made easily accessible in this digital age, while classical music is perceived to be understood by a knowledgeable few.

This season, we have challenged this paradigm…

So, come and enjoy the Newport Music Festival’s world-class musicians performing Bach, Puccini, Gershwin, Bernstein, and Billie Holiday.

Indulge yourself in luscious large ensembles at Solo Masterpieces and tap your feet at Broadway at Blithewold and The Swingles.

Experience the improvisational genius of Charlie Albright, the sensational riffs of The Harlem 100, the flair of Metropolitan Opera Star Nathan Gunn, and the virtuosity of internationally acclaimed Marc-André Hamelin.

Experience the best that Newport has to offer with exhilarating live chamber ensembles, jazz, classical, Broadway, and opera in breath-taking mansions and gorgeous outdoor venues.

Be artistically entertained! We look forward to spending this summer with you.

Pamela A. Pantos, Executive Director
