The U is Silent; We Aren’t – S.2, Ep. 2
Rethink Classical: How Staunton Music Festival is Rewriting the Rules
What happens when you take 100 world-class musicians from across the globe, drop them into a small Shenandoah Valley city, and ask them to perform pieces they’ve never played together before? Magic, apparently. In this episode, we sit down with Jason Stell, Executive Director of the Staunton Music Festival, to explore how a scrappy concert series grew into one of the most adventurous classical music festivals in the country, and why a walkable downtown in Virginia and uncompromising artistic risk turned out to be the secret ingredients nobody saw coming.
