Festival Concerts
There are six full-length concerts, see previews of each in the 2009 program, featured as part of the Sarasota Music Festival each Friday and Saturday, June 1-20. Each performance features the artistry of the guest faculty and some of the highest-caliber chamber music in the world in the beautiful Sarasota Opera House.
Fridays
Prior to the Friday concerts, at 7:15 p.m., artistic director Robert Levin, sets the tone with his popular lectures. After the main feature, students provide postlude entertainment with the Festival orchestra. These shows before and after the show, are to be missed!
Saturday Insights
Student performers will open the Saturday evening shows (two Festival Orchestra Concerts and one fabulous faculty chamber performance). This is your chance to get a glimpse inside a day in the life of the Festival and why so many aspiring young artists vie for the chance to be part of it all.
Artist Showcases
Faculty solos, duos and other arrangements will be showcased throughout the three weeks Thursday afternoons in the intimacy of Holley Hall.
