One of the great places to hear live music of many genres. The grounds are beautiful and the music exquisite. Many of my favorites have played there including Richard Thompson, Rhiannon Giddens, and I'm with Her. There is a free shuttle bus from the train station.

Congratulations to Will Crutchfield and his production of La Favorite. It was right up there with Caramoor's Norma, Lucrezia Borgia, and Ciro in Babilonia. Indeed, it was one of the finest bel canto renderings I've heard any time or any place.

Clementine Margaine was sensational and the rest of the cast was top notch. But let's not forget the
Orchestra of St. Luke's and its performance of the rarely heard ballet. How about those flutes and trumpets?

What will Crutchfield give us next year with Rossini's Aureliano in Palmira--a counter tenor, sopranista, or--dare I say-- a castrato?

How could I be the first to provide a review of Caramoor? It is quite possibly the greatest gem in West Chester County! The gardens are beautiful, the architecture is inspiring, the interior decor is lush, and the musicians are the same as you would find at Lincoln Center. Picnicking during a concert is wonderful. Now that the cold storms have died down, I have much to look forward to.

I had a magical evening at the Caramoor. My only complaint was I couldn't stay long enough. The quartet that played was amazing and the music filled the room beautifully. The building and the grounds I got to see were so breathtaking. The staff that served our dinner were welcoming, pleasant, and worked like a well timed clock. They served us a multi-course meal in a way that seemed effortless but coordinated and all the food was delicious.

Incredibly beautiful gardens, grounds, and musical venue. Tickets are usually very affordable for classical, jazz, or country performances. Or you can just show up and hear it all from a peaceful place in the gardens. Plenty of picnic tables and beautiful lawns in enjoy. All the staff are so helpful and friendly. Really a gem!

Great hidden gem. Concerts provide high quality, and entertaining performances. Focus is on classical music both instrumental and vocal, but jazz, blues, bluegrass and other forms of music are all represented. There is a big brass band with fireworks every July 4th. There are 3 venues, a large tent with very good acoustics, a courtyard (can get VERY hot in Summer) and an intimate indoor venue for the colder months. You can bring a picnic lunch or buy one from various onsite vendors. For the upper crust seated dining is available. Ample on grounds parking. Gardens. Prices range from reasonable to "are you kidding?."
