We regret to announce that the 2020 Music in the Mountains Festival has been canceled for this summer. The Board of Directors of Mountainside Baroque, acting from an abundance of caution in view of the pandemic, felt that a timely decision to cancel the June festival was necessary. Festival musicians, presenters, and audience members come from a wide geographic area and we want everyone to be safe. This action follows the cancellation of the final 2019-2020 concert season performance, Venice and Rome, scheduled for March 29 at the Allegany Museum.

 

Mountainside Baroque is now working hard planning our 2020-2021 season. We hope to include the festival in modified form as part of this series. In preparation, we are attempting to retain the musicians who were scheduled for the original event in June. Patrons who have purchased admission to the festival or our March 29 concert will be contacted soon about your options.

 

Especially in this extraordinary time, we take comfort in the generous support the community continues to give our organization and classical music in greater western Maryland.
