About this festival
For 48 years, Eastern Music Festival & School (EMF) has brought together a cross-section of America's most sought-after artists with pre-professional students in a five-week schedule of more than 100 concerts and music-related events. Our 49th season (June 26 - July 31, 2010) is shaping up similarly. Music Director Gerard Schwarz has lined up an exciting Festival Orchestra Series with cellist Lynn Harrell, violinists Gil Shaham and Tianwa Yang, and pianists Barry Douglas and William Wolfram. We will continue our two chamber series at UNCG's School of Music and at the Guilford College Carnegie Room, our distinctive Wednesday Friends & Great Performers Series, and the Young Artists Series each Thursday and Friday evening. Our popular EMFfringe series of alternative programming features everything from Americana to al country, blues, rock, jazz and more!
