Caramoor’s Evnin Rising Stars II: Students 18 and under go free to Caramoor’s Evnin Rising Stars performances. The Evnin Rising Stars program is an incubator for the next generation of leaders in classical music performance. In her 11th year as Artistic Director of the program, Pamela Frank will be joined by distinguished artist/mentors David Shifrin and Leon Fleisher to work alongside young instrumentalists on the great chamber music masterworks. The culmination of this week of intense collaboration and musical discovery is an opportunity for the public to witness young musicians on their way to becoming legends themselves.

The intimate 170 seat Music Room, in Caramoor’s historic Rosen House, is used for musical performances. From fall to spring they offer chamber performances, recitals, opera, acoustic American roots music, jazz, American songbook, and lectures. The Music Room is available to rent for private events.
The majestic Music Room includes Renaissance furniture and architectural elements such as the intricately carved coffered ceiling from a house in Lecce, Italy. It also features a pair of pink marble twisted columns from Verona, once in the collection of William Randolph Hearst. Other notable collections include Urbino maiolica, tin glazed earthenware for Italy and works by Della Robbia and Old Masters. Don’t miss the magnificent Franco-Flemish Tapestry titled “The Holy Family.” Finally, from a slightly later period, our 18th-century needlework chairs delight Music Room visitors.
