SongFest, the internationally acclaimed art song festival and training program, is proud to begin an exciting new chapter this summer at Furman University under the leadership of its new Director, Grant Knox. Hosted on Furman’s beautiful campus from June 29–July 20, SongFest brings together world-renowned artist-teachers and talented singers and pianists from leading conservatories and universities for an intensive celebration of vocal chamber music. Throughout the festival, audiences are invited to enjoy a diverse series of concerts featuring art song, opera, American music, international repertoire, and master artists. All concerts are free and open to the public and will take place in Daniel Recital Hall. We invite you to join us for this remarkable summer of music-making, discovery, and artistic excellence.
