The Festival provides eight days of concerts at some of the most beautiful, intimate, and storied venues along the Gold Coast of Long Island, including Cedarmere, the Estate of William Cullen Bryant, Old Westbury Gardens, historic St. John’s Episcopal Church in Cold Spring Harbor, Raynham Hall Museum, Christ Church of Oyster Bay, the Wooden Boat Shop at the Western Waterfront, and many others.  Designed for highly gifted and prize winning musicians ages 16-30 (including pianists, classical singers, woodwinds, and strings), Performance Intensive artists, together with festival faculty and guest artists, present solo and chamber music repertoire on creatively curated classical music concerts.

Our mission is to present awe-inspiring classical music performances, which showcase exceptional prize-winning musicians in both beautiful and unique venues, creating an intimate and immersive experience for our community to share.
