Staunton Music Festival

The Staunton Summer Festival will return for its 28th season. Some of the planned highlights include a grand Bach-themed program on opening night (with Brazilian influence); Mozart’s Don Giovanni as finale; performances and works by bandoneon virtuoso JP Jofre; musical dramas by Benjamin Britten, Leah Reid, and Jake Heggie; multiple concerts celebrating minor masters and marginalized voices; chamber works from across five centuries; Nightcaps and Pop-Ups, and so much more. From Monteverdi to Mozart’s “Jupiter” Symphony and music from Biber to Bernstein, August 2026 is shaping up for magical experiences!
