John Hiatt At Caramoor: Enjoy a special benefit evening with an artistic legend who transformed American music.

King, the Jeff Healey Band, and dozens more. He has received his own star on Nashville’s Walk of Fame, the Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting, and has been inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Caramoor’s Rosen House Music Room

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 18^th-century needlework chairs delight Music Room visitors.
