Unfolding at Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY, and across New York City—including the iconic Carnegie Hall—the Gateways Spring Festival 2025 invites audiences through a tapestry of intimate recitals, bold new works, thought-provoking discussions, and inspiring educational initiatives, crowned by The Gateways Festival Orchestra—composed of Black professional musicians from the nation’s leading orchestras and music faculties—under the baton of Anthony Parnther.

Join us to celebrate the past, present, and future of classical music.
