The 34th Savannah Music Festival is happening from March 23 to April 8. As stated in their mission, “the Savannah Music Festival is dedicated to presenting world-class celebrations of the musical arts by celebrating timeless and adventurous productions that stimulate arts education, foster economic growth and unite artists and audiences in Savannah.”
The Savannah Music Festival is Georgia’s largest musical arts festival. It is also one of the most distinctive cross-genre music festivals in the world. This year’s festival has 90 performances to look forward to. The musical genres include jazz, folk, classical, American and global roots.
The festival is a great way to discover new artists. Some artists debuting are Terence Blanchard, Patty Griffin, St. Paul & the Broken Bones and more.
