About Caramoor
Recognized for its rich and storied history, the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts is a leading cultural center in the New York metropolitan region and is known as a “year-round powerhouse of cultural activity” (BBC Music Magazine).

Caramoor’s mission is to enrich the lives of audiences through innovative and diverse musical performances of the highest quality, mentor young professional musicians, and engage children through interactive educational experiences that deepen their relationship to and understanding of music.

Founded in 1946, Caramoor presents 50-60 live music performances throughout the year, including a seven-week Summer Season with more than 30 outdoor concerts on multiple stages, and a series of concerts in the historic Rosen House in the fall and spring. A wide variety of innovative and diverse musical programs, performed by world-class artists and rising stars, is presented, including classical, jazz, American roots, global, American songbook, and more. Caramoor also has a permanent and rotating collection of sound art installed throughout the property and provides three mentoring residency programs for young professional musicians.

Formerly the home of art and music lovers Walter and Lucie Rosen, the extensive grounds include gardens and outdoor music venues, as well as the historic Rosen House, a Mediterranean-style villa completed in 1939 and filled with European and Asian artworks. In 1946, the Rosens opened their home to the public to enjoy concerts and be inspired by the grounds, and the historic Rosen House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
