The Newport Music Festival
2010 celebrates its 42nd season July 9–25, continuing
the tradition of presenting unique chamber music programs,
American debuts, world-class artists and special events in
the Gilded Age “summer cottages” of Newport, Rhode Island.
Entering his thirty-sixth season, Artistic Director Dr. Mark
P. Malkovich, III researches and selects works from the 19th
century chamber music, vocal repertoire and the Romantic-era
piano literature, to create one of the most extraordinary
festivals in the world. In its forty-one year history, the
Newport Music Festival has become celebrated for presenting
over one hundred thirty artists and ensembles in their
American debuts. Yamaha Pianos and Your New England Toyota
Dealer are the major Festival sponsors.

The Festival will present 65 concerts—three to five per
day—in the famous Newport Mansions with 35 American and
international artists from 14 countries. Season-long
tributes to the bicentenaries of composers Frédéric François
Chopin and Robert Alexander Schumann will feature their
enduring music. Morning concerts are at 11 a.m., afternoons
usually at 4 p.m. and evenings at The Breakers, the queen of
the Newport Mansions, at 9 p.m. Midnight concerts feature
one-hour intermission-free works with champagne receptions
preceding. The Festival was again selected for “America’s
Elite 1000—the Ultimate List,” the very best American luxury
goods, shops, services and special events; it has also been
named one of the “Top 50 Outstanding Festivals & Events” in
North America by Leisure Group Travel magazine.
