Maverick Concerts

Maverick Concerts, founded in 1916, is the nation's oldest continuously running summer chamber music festival, welcoming generations of world-class artists to its iconic rustic concert hall. While chamber music remains at its heart, Maverick's adventurous programming also embraces jazz, folk, contemporary, and world music, making it one of the region's most distinctive cultural destinations.As another season unfolds, we're joined by Maverick's Music Director, Alexander Platt, to talk about this summer's performances and the enduring magic of making music in the Catskills.

Acclaimed pianist Simone Dinnerstein will be performing two concerts in our region over the next two weekends. This Saturday, August 26, Dinnerstein will be the featured soloist at Maverick Concerts’ Annual Chamber Orchestra Concert in Woodstock, New York with the Caroga Arts Ensemble and conductor Alexander Platt and on September 2, she’ll perform the Harold Lewin Memorial Concert at The New Marlborough Meeting House in New Marlborough, Massachusetts.

Maverick Concerts is the oldest, continuous summer chamber music festival in America, celebrating over a century of world class music in the woods. The mainstay of the festival, which runs from June to September, is to be found in the Sunday chamber music concerts performed by renowned soloists and ensembles. Jazz and Contemporary Music presentations have been given more prominence in recent seasons. Maverick Concerts’ Music Director Alexander Platt joins us.
