Newport Classical Music Festival 🎵 Sunrise Meditations

As the sun rises over the Atlantic, the Newport Classical Festival Artists welcome you to your day with a program of meditative musical poetics. This program explores the spaces in which we gather: physically, mentally, and spiritually. These selections highlight composers from historically underrepresented communities and from the indigenous diaspora. Roland-Manuel references baroque dance style; Wiancko fuses traditional Appalachian music with Japanese folk song. Korngold’s ‘String Quartet No 2’ closes the program with impressionistic touches, evoking waltzes, and the musical lightness of Vienna.
