The 36th season of the Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival is indeed one to remember. From June 25 through August 6, festival-goers will experience world-renowned artists and exciting special events.
Many artists who will be gracing the stages in Highlands and Cashiers are familiar ones. Over the last 35 years, the festival has earned a reputation among artists as a much sought-after destination. Audience members happily benefit from the passion these musicians have for the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau.
In keeping with tradition, this year’s concerts will be performed Friday evenings at 6:00 P.M. in Highlands at the Highlands Performing Arts Center. Saturday concerts are held in Cashiers at the Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library at 5:00 P.M. On Sundays the concerts at Highlands PAC begin at 5:00 P.M. and on Mondays, the library will host the concert at 5:00 P.M.
Along with the regular season concert series, the festival will include several special programs. Each year HCCMF endeavors to give back to the Highlands and Cashiers communities with concerts featuring the Festival’s renowned musicians. This season audiences will be entertained at Buck’s in Highlands and Cashiers, Chestnut Hill in Highlands, Camp Merriewoode in Cashiers, and the Highlands Presbyterian Church for the Family Concert and Ice Cream Social as well as the Interlude Concert. The Bucks concerts and the church concerts are open to the public. Chestnut Hill, the Family Concert, and the Interlude Concert are sponsored by the Cullasaja Women’s Outreach.
Throughout the season, there will be special ticketed Feasts and Salons. These intimate gatherings are held at many spectacular homes in the Highlands and Cashiers areas and provide important and vital financial support to the festival.
