March 22 and April 7
The Savannah Music Festival (SMF) has been operating since 2003. It is Georgia’s largest musical arts event and one of the most well-known cross-genre music festivals in the world. All of this is particularly impressive considering that SMF operates as a not-for-profit organization.
Each year it presents a celebration of musical arts that presents genres from classical and acoustic, to southern gospel and bluegrass. There are more than 100 events in seventeen days. This year not only features an expanded chamber musicgenre, with the presentation of The Hallelujah Train , it also showcases the most varied classical programming to date.You can see concerts listed by instrument, venue, and genre on Savannah Music Festival’s website.
Savannah Music Festival not only offers musical selections and concerts, they also offer free (open to the public) artist interviews they call Sound Dialogues; just one more thing that sets them apart from other festivals. Artists from varied genres participate in discussions and answer questions, giving attendees a behind-the-scenes look into the lives of these talented musicians.
