ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Penn’s Woods Music Festival (PWMF) offers outstanding chamber music and orchestral performances by professional musicians.

The festival was created to provide something the community did not have – a professional classical music festival in the summer.

After many years of extraordinary music-making, the Penn State School of Music will conclude Penn’s Woods Music Festival. This decision reflects a renewed focus on initiatives that most directly support student learning, professional preparation, and artistic development.

For decades, PWMF brought world-class musicians and unforgettable performances to our community, made possible by the dedication of artists, staff, donors, and audiences who believed in the power of music to connect and inspire. We are deeply grateful for the festival’s legacy and the relationships it fostered.

As we look ahead, we do so with appreciation for PWMF’s lasting impact and a commitment to carrying its spirit forward through new programs and collaborations that serve our students and community.
