NPR Music
Georgia's Savannah Music Festival is a wonderful example of the kind of event that can be created when musical borders are blurred and exceptional musicians of all kinds come together to make great music.
WQXR/WNYC
"Savannah's hallmark is its cultural diversity, and on any given day our programs range from, say, the Baroque to Brahms to Edgar Meyer, from Fauré to Portuguese Fado, from Béla Fleck to Chris Thile. It's a celebration of music in all its many forms."
-Daniel Hope in The Wall Street Journal
No matter what type of music you like, the Savannah Music Festival has it all. Soul, salsa, jazz and classical are just a few of the genres offered during the festival, which swings through three weekends.
Fox News
The Savannah Music Festival is surely the most musically diverse event of its scale in the U.S... In the end, maybe all this diversity, and the Savannah springtime, makes for fresher ears.
Musical America
One of the biggest cross-genre music fetes in the country.
Departures Magazine
This familiarity--a tight-knit, communal nature that pervades the concerts--made the festival's two Friday-night shows something more than mere performances.
Down Beat
The festival is unique in that it captures the range of music around the world, with most genres represented.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
This festival runs the gamut of genres, from country to rock to classical, gospel, zydeco - pretty much everything.
Austin American Statesmen
From "An artistic success and a public relations dream" by Bill Dawers:
We already know the SMF is attracting a growing number of cultural tourists, who likely spend more and stay longer than many of our other visitors. Put all the great publicity on top of that. It all adds up to a heck of a festival. And that's without even considering the individual enrichment the SMF offers each year to those who attend.
