This, coupled with the world-renowned faculty artists who travel here to mentor and perform, makes the Sarasota Music Festival a magical experience of exceptional concerts. From the timeless masters such as Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Haydn and more, to new and innovative works not widely performed, the Festival provides something for every palate of the classical repertoire.
