Caramoor, Katonah, NY

I recently visited Caramoor in Katonah, NY and was a bit disappointed that I had not known of this gem, so close to Fairfield County.  Did not have time to explore the gardens or the house (reminiscent of the houses of Newport, RI) but I do plan to go back and often!

Caramoor is a venue for great music and it did not disappoint.  We went to see Edward Arron and Friends - a classical Chamber concert.  Arron is an amazing cellist and the performance of Brahms, Haydn and Shostakovich was fantastic.  Tickets came to $21 each (after fees) but students under 18 are free!  Now, this is classical music so most likely not something most kids will want to see; but if you have kids in middle school or high school orchestra, they may find it interesting.

Caramoor is more than just classical music.  The Summer Concert series is outdoors and great for families.  High Tea is also offered on various dates and advanced tickets are required.
