Festival of Music
Here are some words from this year's Artistic Director, Jay Dean:
Each May for twenty-nine years, the Natchez Festival of Music has provided outstanding musical performances. This year we continue to expand our festival with every kind of music from opera and musical theatre to country and rock.
Our Opening Night Gala Concert features Asleep at the Wheel, the “Crown Princes of Western Swing.”
This season also celebrates the Centennial of Liberace, and the Golden Anniversary of Woodstock, one of the most iconic moments in American music history!
This year we will bring in top vocal performers from all over the United States to be featured in Stephen Sondheim’s smash hit musical, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum and the world’s most popular opera, Puccini’s La Boheme.
Other fan-favorite events are ourRossini, Puccini, and Martinis and Rockin’ on the Riverseries.
We are excited to continue to present one of the best, most diverse, and most inclusive music festivals in the country.
Come to Natchez this May for A Season of Peace and Music.
