It's summer and that means it's time for the Wintergreen Music Festival, which runs through July 27th. Whether you want to take a weekend trip up to the mountain or spend an entire week enjoying a variety of concerts and musical activities, there's something for everyone! This year is the 50th anniversary for the Wintergreen Resort and the 30th anniversary of the Wintergreen Music Festival.

The opening weekend concerts are part of Wintergreen Resort's July Fourth Jubilee. Opening night (Friday) features "Jazz with John Winn and Friends," with a special free patriotic pops concert and fireworks show on Saturday evening. The first MountainTop Masterworks concerts for this year's festival will take place Sunday afternoon (7/6) and Monday evening (7/7).

I invite you to take a listen as Artistic Director Erin Freeman joins me to discuss the various offerings from this year's event, including Festive Fridays, weeknight chamber music and the popular morning Coffee Talks.

Yours in good music,
Mike Goldberg
Classical Host, VPM Music
