Jeffrey Kahane, Music Director

2020 Festival Cancelled

Amid escalating impact of COVID-19 within the state of Florida, Sarasota Orchestra’s Board of Directors has made the painful, but necessary decision to cancel the 2020 Sarasota Music Festival. We will sorely miss the energy, community, and brilliant artistry promised in this Festival season, but the safety of our Fellows, faculty artists, and patrons takes highest priority in the ongoing crisis.

The cancellation is devastating to us, but we remain committed to bringing the Sarasota Music Festival back in full force. Plans for the 2021 Sarasota Music Festival (June 5-26) are underway as we review options to reschedule the compelling programming connected with this year's Suffragist Project.

“We all believe deeply in the future of the Festival, but more importantly we are all witnessing the incredible healing power of music at this moment of a global crisis of historic magnitude,” says Festival Music Director Jeffrey Kahane. During this hiatus, we’ll explore virtual initiatives to continue the Festival’s sound this June and share its rejuvenating spirit.

We cherish the ardent artistic community fostered within the Sarasota Music Festival over 55 seasons. Each member of this community is a gift to the future of our art form, and we thank you for being part of it.
