Melodic Introspections at Sunrise

This concert is currently SOLD OUT; however, we recommend Italian String in Nature as an alternative.

Experience the stunning sunrise over Newport’s iconic Cliff Walk during this inspiring and introspective concert as the festival artists take you from Beethoven through inspiring works by some of today’s most interesting composers. These works, vibrant and warm in nature and written in different string configurations, together make for a meditative and uplifting way to begin your day.
