The 2023 Guide To Summer Festivals - Musical America

Looking over our largest-ever Guide, we are struck by the breadth of offerings, not only of repertoire, but also of vintage, genre, and practitioner—from rising artist to devoted amateur to seasoned pro and all points in between. Some festivals are also training academies, the best-known including Aspen, Tanglewood, Lucerne, and Verbier. Others are strictly geared to serve a paying public, such as Philadelphia’s Mann Center or the Bravo! Vail Music Festival. Many are both, with lessons, workshops, rehearsals by day and public concerts by night.
