The Festival makes its home at the Silver Center at Plymouth State University in Plymouth, New Hampshire. Top musicians from all over the United States come to New Hampshire, attracted by the recreational opportunities of the Lakes Region and the White Mountains as well as the chance to play with a group of colleagues they have come to know and love over many years. Several musicians have been a part of the Festival for over 40 years.
Donato Cabrera returns for his third summer as conductor and music director. Mr. Cabrera is the Resident Conductor of the San Francisco Symphony and the Music Director of Las Vegas Philharmonic.
Full orchestral classical music concerts are held on Thursdays in the Hanaway Theater at the Silver Center. Chamber music concerts with members of the Festival orchestra are held in the intimate Smith Recital Hall on Tuesdays.
