Sewanee Summer Music Festival Opens

About 200 music students and faculty artists will arrive on the Mountain when the 59th annual Sewanee Summer Music Festival (SSMF) begins.

The SSMF office has become command central as students from 39 states and five foreign countries see to last-minute details for their trip and four-week stay. Local volunteers have been assisting with preparations and are an essential part of the welcome and orientation on Saturday.

At 5:30 p.m., Saturday, June 20, faculty artists will present the gala opening concert in Guerry Auditorium. Works of George Gershwin, Benjamin Britten, Jean Francaix, William Alwyn and Ivan Trevino are on the program. A reception follows in Convocation Hall for all who attend.
Tickets are available at the door, or a discount is available for online purhases at <ssmf.INticketing.com>.
