Classical Festival At A Glance
The story of Britt Classical began 48 years ago. Each summer the world’s brightest stars and greatest music come together under a moonlit sky. Time stops as the power of live orchestral music transforms the Britt hill into a place where out of this world experiences are commonplace. If you haven’t been to Britt Classical, you haven’t been to Britt! Spread your blanket on the lawn, open your picnic basket and bottle of wine, lie back and gaze at the stars, enjoy the quiet of a summer evening’s cricket song, and be dazzled by the sight and sound as 90 musicians serenade you from the glow of the Britt stage. Who could ask for anything more? The Britt Classical Festival is the incomparable Britt experience!
