Tickets are now on sale for the 2010 Savannah Music Festival (March 18 – April 3), which features virtuosos from American and international musical traditions in one of the most alluring cities in the American South. Recently praised as one of the “best events around the world” by The Times of London, the Savannah Music Festival has become one of North America’s leading music festivals through staging consistently unique musical productions. The distinctive musical arts event combines elegance and soul in a way that reflects the history and culture of Savannah.

Opening with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chinese superstar pianist Lang Lang, the 21st edition of Georgia’s largest music festival features its most diverse array of acts including the venerable Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, neo-traditional country great Patty Loveless, and renowned alternative rock band Wilco. Called “one of the best events around the world” by The Times of London, SMF’s 2010 season is comprised of original productions, unique pairings, and a focus on instrumental virtuosity, including world-class artists in jazz, classical, bluegrass, blues, gospel, and a wide variety of other American and international musical traditions. Set in the idyllic atmosphere of Savannah in the early spring, these unique programs combine to create a musical arts event with worldwide resonance.
