Newport Classical Music Festival Kicks Off July 4

“With 29 concerts over 19 days in­volving more than 100 artists, it is no surprise that Newport Classical Artistic Director Trevor Neal and his team started in January 2024 to organize this year’s festival. “We’re actually now three con­certs away from having our 2026 season in place,” Neal said. “There’s a lot of moving parts. We have to start planning in January for the following year. It takes that long to get the festival concept developed and to cover all the logistics.”
