For nearly four decades, the Savannah Music Festival (SMF) has filled historic downtown Savannah with world-class classical, jazz, American roots, and international music. Our two-week springtime festival and off-season events pair exceptional production values with warm Southern hospitality, creating unforgettable, intimate connections between artists and audiences.

During the FY2026 season, SMF remained a powerful economic engine for the region, drawing over 15,000 patrons and generating $7.21 million in direct and visitor spending. Beyond the stage, we invested deeply in our region through cost-free community impact initiatives. By providing educational concerts, master classes, and music lessons, SMF delivered nearly 35,000 free learning hours to music lovers of all ages.

This vibrant mix of artistic excellence and community enrichment is only possible because of our donors. We are profoundly grateful to the generous supporters who fueled our FY2026 season and helped us inspire the next generation.
