ABOUT CARAMOOR    
Our mission is to enrich the lives of audiences through innovative and diverse musical performances of the highest quality; mentor young professional musicians; and engage children through interactive, educational experiences that deepen their relationship to and their understanding of music. These three prongs — music performance, musician mentoring, and music education — inform everything we do. 
   
Located on an 80-acre campus in Katonah, NY, Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit arts center that has been in continuous operation since 1946. It presents approximately 55 live music performances throughout the year in a wide range of genres, culminating in a major summer season starting in June through early August. Caramoor also trains the next generation of classical musicians and provides music-based arts education to local schoolchildren. Through its public programs and community events, Caramoor annually serves approximately 40,000 people. 
   
Caramoor was the home of arts patrons Lucie and Walter Rosen who opened their doors in 1946 to welcome artists and audiences to be inspired by music in the context of their beautiful gardens, historic buildings, and a collection of art. Classical music — from chamber and orchestral to opera — forms the core of Caramoor’s programming, but over the years, the programming has grown to include jazz, American Roots, global music, American songbook, family programs, and more. Caramoor also rents its facilities and grounds for private events.
