Previous Performers
A Brief History
The Woodstock Mozart Festival's first performances were held in 1987 at the Woodstock Opera House as part of a summer theatre and music program called "Woodfest." Due to the success of these concerts, additional performances were offered the following year. From the beginning, internationally-recognized guest artists were showcased. In 1993, the Festival adopted a guest conductor format which enables patrons to enjoy the music of Mozart in different performance styles.The Festival's goals are to maintain a superb orchestra that delivers extraordinary performances, centered on Mozart, which inspire and educate audiences of all ages.
This season’s additional events include a Two-Piano Recital on Saturday, August 1st at 2:00 P.M. with duo-pianists Genova and Dimitrov; a Chamber Music Sampler Concert on Saturday August 15th at 2:00 P.M. featuring violinist Mark Peskanov and Festival musicians; and a Master Class with Genova and Dimitrov on Sunday, August 2nd at 5:00.
