Britt Music & Arts Festival History
Conductor John Trudeau and his colleague Sam McKinney launched the Britt Music & Arts Festival in 1963, and since then the fest has attracted a range of world-class artists and thousands of spectators. Visitors often arrive early and bring in picnics and beverages to enjoy beautiful hillside scenery. In 2014, organizers added the Performance Garden, a second stage primarily used for extra activities such as pre-concert music and talks, special events, and children’s concerts. The total capacity of the Britt Festival is 2,200 seats that allow Britt to invite world-class artists while keeping an intimate atmosphere.
