Our Path Forward: Announcing the 2026-2029 Strategic Plan
We are proud to unveil Wintergreen Music’s 2026–2029 Strategic Plan — a bold and thoughtful roadmap for the years ahead. It reflects months of listening, collaboration, and visioning — and positions Wintergreen Music not only to sustain our impact, but to grow it in meaningful and measurable ways.

Save the Dates
Nestled in Virginia’s majestic Blue Ridge Mountains, the Wintergreen Music Festival is a month-long summer celebration of live music at Wintergreen Resort. Each July, world-class musicians gather on the mountaintop for appreciative audiences surrounded by stunning views and cool mountain breezes. From Classical to Bluegrass, Jazz, Motown, Singer-Songwriter, Broadway, and more — the Festival is a true tapestry of musical flavors.
Festival guests can also enjoy free morning Coffee Talks, LEAD Cooperative student masterclasses and intimate performances in an environment that feels like a relaxed “summer camp for adults.” With so much available to enjoy at Wintergreen Resort, including golf, tennis, spa services, combined with hiking and many of the best wineries, cideries, and breweries Virginia has to offer, the Wintergreen Music Festival offers a rejuvenating music in the mountains retreat you won’t want to miss.
