Oyster Bay Music Festival at Cedarmere, Estate of William Cullen Bryant: "To Music, or Not to Music"

Once again the Cedarmere Estate is the perfect atmosphere for a program of music, words, and storytelling from emerging stars of the classical music world. Experience a one-of-a-kind afternoon concert of uplifting music and innovation. World-class performers - many still in their twenties - include German violinist Tassilo Probst, who is making musical headlines throughout Europe; celebrated pianist Maxim Lando, who has been hailed for his “brilliance and infectious exuberance” by the New York Times; sought after bass-baritone Joseph Parrish, whose career skyrocketed after winning Young Concert Artists in 2022; cellist Bethany Bobbs, whose innovations have been celebrated by The Strad and The ViolinChannel; award winning Bolivian soprano Shelén Hughes Camacho; globe-trotting pianist Joshua Mhoon; and acclaimed Ukrainian flutist Denis Savelyev. The concert will also feature the popular OBMF Singers, additional prize-winning instrumentalists, and an appearance from one of the few musical-saw masters remaining in the world, Dale Stuckenbruck.

This event is part of a series of performances throughout Nassau County from June 26 - July 3, 2026. The concerts feature young, prize-winning artists, ages 18-30 (including pianists, classical singers, woodwinds, and strings), who present solo and chamber music repertoire on creatively curated classical music concerts.
