2011 classical recordings from Savannah featured on NPR Music!
A mix of stunning virtuosity and sheer enthusiasm.

As an icon of the Deep South, Savannah, Georgia seems an unlikely setting for one of the best world music festivals in the country.... each spring the city transforms itself into a global crossroads of music for the Savannah Music Festival where delta bluesmen, West African griots, Honky Tonk crooners, Cuban rumberos, zydeco accordion masters and Indian sarod virtuosos all cross paths.

My favorite thing about the Savannah Music Festival is how every year I'm turned on to an artist I'd never heard of before, one who simply blows my socks off and converts me into a major "I'm so going to download their music as soon as I get home" fan for life.

SMF is one of the best music festivals in the country, certainly in the Southeast. Just like Savannah is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Savannah is probably the only festival that offers classical music alongside pop, jazz, world music and a myriad other genres... a 17-day lineup featuring everything from piano recitals to Cajun dance parties.
