Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival cancelled

May 15, 2020 | By William Ransom
Artistic Director

Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival's 2020 season cancelled.

The Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival in North Carolina, one of the largest and longest-running Festivals of its kind, has announced that its 39th season has been cancelled.

To all our Festival Friends, we waited as long as we possibly could, hoping for a miracle, but sadly the time has come to make the call that the 39th season of the Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival has been cancelled. We had SUCH an incredible summer planned for you, with more new faces and creative programs than ever before, including violinists Cho-Liang Lin and Ray Chen; pianists Anastasia Huppmann (US debut) and Inna Faliks; the Hermes Quartet from Paris; harpist Bridget Kibbey; tenor Timothy Miller; and Festival favorites David and Julie Coucheron; cellists Zuill Bailey and Charae Krueger; narrator Lois Reitzes; the Attacca Quartet; the Eroica Trio and so many more. Our wonderful dinner parties, the Festival Feasts; Family Concert and Ice Cream Social and CLE classes on Chamber Music and many other special concerts and events were all lined up and ready to go.....

The good news is- THIS TOO SHALL PASS! We are already planning for a truly blockbuster 40th anniversary season in 2021 (yes, we will still count it as our 40th despite losing this season) and it is going to be one nonstop party all summer long!

We will be posting performances by some of our Festival Musicians over the summer on our Facebook page- please check it out and "like" it if you use Facebook to stay in touch. And more information is always available on our Website at h-cmusicfestival.org.

Stay well, and we cannot wait to bring you live music and much more in the near future.

William Ransom, Artistic Director
