The Choir School of Newport County
Founded in 2014, The Choir School of Newport County has earned a place as the area's premier children's choir, having trained and performed in England for two weeks in 2018, traveled to New York City and Washington, DC, performed at local and regional festivals in its home state including the 2021 Newport Folk Festival, and issued its first commercial recording last Christmas.
Ensemble Altera
Fast-rising Ensemble Altera was founded to be the beating heart of professional choral music in the United States. Led by internationally celebrated countertenor Christopher Lowrey, the group is dedicated to bringing thoughtful, engaging, and relevant programs to in-person and digital audiences at home and around the world.

Rosecliff Mansion was 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.
