The Great American Songbook is to American music what the complete works of Shakespeare are to English literature: an indispensable and crucial foundation for a unique and sophisticated art form. Newport Classical’s Festival Artists will take us on a grand instrumental journey featuring eloquent break-up ballads, wistful reveries, and exultant celebrations of love and romance.
Relive the magic of blockbuster classics performed by our resident Festival Artists at the beloved Blithewold Mansion―the perfect summer outing for classical music lovers and film buffs alike.
Spend a memorable morning at Blithewold Mansion with New York-based brass quartet The Westerlies. Mixing ideas from jazz, new classical, and Appalachian folk, the ensemble presents kaleidoscopic arrangements of traditional hymns alongside new compositions.
