Awakening Light at Sunrise

Framed by a quintessential Newport sunrise over the Atlantic and the iconic Cliff Walk, the Resident Festival Artists invite you to begin your day with a thoughtfully curated early morning concert. Sitting on the terrace of the Rosecliff mansion, let the gentle sea breeze and the soft glow of dawn accompany a program as peaceful and reflective as the setting itself. Presenting works by Biber, Beethoven, Pärt, Holst, and Golijov, we invite listeners to awaken with the day’s first light in harmony with the music.

Complimentary coffee and pastries will be served before and after the concert.

Commissioned by Nevada silver heiress Theresa Fair Oelrichs in 1899, architect Stanford White modeled Rosecliff after the Grand Trianon, the garden retreat of French kings at Versailles. After the house was completed in 1902, at a reported cost of $2.5 million, Mrs. Oelrichs hosted fabulous entertainments here, including a fairy tale dinner and a party featuring famed magician Harry Houdini.

Free parking is available at the venue, including handicap spaces. Rosecliff is partially accessible with elevator in service. This concert will be held on the outdoor terrace of the mansion.

Doors will open 30 minutes prior to the start of the concert.
