Located in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, the Music Center has been in existence as a summer training school for pre-professional musicians since 1936. The Festival, implemented ten years later, features performances of classical masterworks by the likes of Mozart, Brahms, Mahler and Sibelius, as well as operas by Rossini, Puccini, and others. All festival concerts offer lawn seating, which is free for children under 17 in the presence of a paying adult, making it a family-friendly option. In addition to the annual festival, which runs from late June through early August, the Brevard Music Center presents the free concert series First Mondays, with performances once a month, October through May (excluding January).
