  Don't miss the finale of the 57th Newport Classical Music Festival, featuring GRAMMY Award-winning Harlem Quartet alongside Newport Classical's Resident Festival Artists in an exhilarating evening of string octets. Known for bringing "a new attitude to classical music" (Cincinnati Enquirer), Harlem Quartet brings its signature dynamic energy to The Breakers for a performance steeped in innovation and collaboration. With a program dynamically anchored by Shostakovich and Mendelssohn, this finale promises to be a bold and exciting send-off to the 2026 Festival.

From July 2-19, 2026, the Newport Classical Music Festival will again turn this "City by the Sea" into a summer destination for music lovers, featuring 30 concerts across 11 unforgettable venues, from cliffside lawns to gilded mansions, including the stunning interiors of The Breakers, The Elms, Castle Hill Inn, Blithewold Mansion, Rosecliff Mansion, Redwood Library and Athenaum, and more. For 57 years, Newport Classical has showcased classical music as a living art form, presenting artists and programs that are diverse and ever-evolving in intimate and iconic venues that make every performance one of a kind.

Highlights of the 2026 Festival include Opening Night with chamber orchestra Delirium Musicum a celebration of the Golden Age of Opera with Lawrence Brownlee and Erin Morley solo piano performances by Michelle Cann and Dmitry Shishkin, and a two-piano recital with Pavel Kolesnikov and Samson Tsoy a new work by Vivian Fung, co-commissioned by Newport Classical, with Sandbox Percussion and violinist Kristin Lee performances by violinist Eldbjorg Hemsing, VOCES8, Apollo's Fire, Trio Karenine, Beijing Guitar Duo, Parker Quartet, and more two evenings with Broadway star Jeremy Jordan, known for his lead role in Newsies and The Great Gatsby and Closing Night with the GRAMMY Award-winning Harlem Quartet.
