I was able to take the family on a walk on a cold snowy day through this beautiful historic property on a sunny day. This is one of these old estates where taking 4 seasons of photography is fun. No charge for walking the grounds and enjoying the solace.
Beautiful venue, fabulous concert series in summer. Take the time to picnic and enjoy the music.Take the time to walk around and see the gardens.
Caramoor books good classical music and provides excellent seating. It is a beautiful site with lovely woods and trails.
Ms. Katz,Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to offer a 'second home' of sorts so our guests may meet, mingle, and enjoy beautiful music together. Are you joining us for the upcoming Evnin Rising Stars performances on October 25 and 26? Hope to see you there!Warmly,The Caramoor Team
We went to the Caramoor on November 15, 2014 for a concert by John Fullbright. The concert took place in the Music Room of the mansion. It was so beautiful. The concert was wonderful also. After the show we were invited to a reception with beer and wine and snacks to meet the artist. It was a lovely evening.We are planning to go back in the summer for their American Roots outdoor concerts.
For music lovers in metropolitan New York City, the Caramoor Center for the Arts in beautiful Katonah offers a perfect setting for outstanding performances of symphony, opera, and chamber music and recitals. The summer music festival features the highly-regarded Orchestra of St. Luke's, along with bel canto opera performances, a wide range of chamber and recital concerts, as well as a fine jazz festival. Major concerts are held in the lovely Venetian Theater with its huge tent and comfortable seating, while small programs are held in the garden or in the courtyard of the Rosen Home. In the past few years, musical programs have been added in the fall and spring, including many through Caramoor's Rising Stars series with wonderful young musicians. You can bring your own food for dining on the picnic grounds before a concert, or order from Caramoor's own catering service. The whole experience is more relaxed and elegant than busy Tanglewood, and for many, summer begins and ends with concerts at Caramoor.
Thank you for visiting Caramoor and taking the time to review our venue! We're glad you enjoyed exploring our grounds and gardens. We'd love to have you come back and visit again (and take the time to see a concert if you have the chance)!
Where else can you see so many amazing performers of global stature In such an intimate surrounding? Tomorrow we will have the 10th annual Caramoor crew party to show our gratitude.
Thank you for your kind review Blenda Lynn! We're so happy you came to check us out and we appreciate you taking the time to review Caramoor. Hope to see you again up in Katonah!
Caramoor is a hidden estate in Northern Westchester. There is a mansion, gardens, arbors, lawns, gazebos, and a huge tent for music performances. The classical program is good, and the jazz program at the end of July is fun. There are many places to dine nearby, or you could bring a box dinner and picnic on the grounds.
