Centuries before stories and poems were first set down in writing, the sister arts of music and storytelling were inextricably linked with one another, filling a deep human need for words to be illuminated, enriched, and enhanced by musical sounds.
The 2023 Sarasota Music Festival will celebrate the mysterious and magical power of music as we present a rich range of works, both familiar and new, that invite us to set our imaginations ablaze, and illustrates our Festival theme: The Power of Storytelling Through Music.
