 Summer Season in full swing
 |
Caramoor's Venetian Theater: the setting for the launch of Caramoor International Music Festival's 64th annual summer season. |
The Caramoor International Music Festival launched its 64th annual summer season with a gala evening in a “garden of great music in the Venetian Theater with David Robertson leading the Orchestra of St. Luke's with guest artists Susan Graham, mezzo-soprano and Ilya Poletaev, piano who performed works by Mozart, Rossini, and Beethoven, including the most famous symphony of all time, Beethoven’s Fifth.
The Gala began with cocktails and dinner, provided by Great Performances, and continued with a concert in the Venetian Theater. After the concert, guests stayed for the “After Dark” party which included dessert and dancing with the evening’s artists and features the hot Timba music of Tiempo Libre. |

Caramoor is the legacy of Walter and Lucie Rosen, who built their summer home – now known as the historic Rosen House at Caramoor – and filled it with their treasures. Walter Rosen was the master planner for the Caramoor estate, bringing to reality his dream of creating a place to entertain friends from around the world. Their musical evenings were the seeds of today’s Caramoor International Music Festival. Realizing the pleasure their friends took in the beauty of Caramoor – the house with its art collection, the gardens, and the musical programs on summer evenings – the Rosens established a public charity in 1946 to open Caramoor to the community. |

Lucie Rosen survived her husband by seventeen years. During those years, she expanded the Music Festival: the Spanish Courtyard was used as a setting for musical events, as it is today, and, under her direction, the great stage of the Venetian Theater was built.
Caramoor is a Garden of Great Music where audiences are invited to come early, explore the beautiful grounds, take a tour of the Rosen House, visit the gift shop, enjoy a pre-concert picnic, and discover beautiful music in the relaxed settings of the Venetian Theater, Spanish Courtyard, Music Room of the Rosen House, and the magnificent gardens. With its unique heritage, Caramoor remains a place where magical summer days and nights are shared and enjoyed by thousands. “Caramoor is the loveliest Festival of them all.” - The New York Times
Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts is located at 149 Girdle Ridge Road, Katonah, New York. |
