News from Britt Hill – February 2023

Happy 2023, friends! The days are starting to get longer, and we’re officially beginning our sprint into the 2023 Britt season. There’s so much happening behind the scenes, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it. We will be announcing the Britt Festival Orchestra season on February 7, and there will be Britt Presents announcements in early March and April. I’m biting my tongue until then. But for now, a few things I’m thrilled to share:

The Best of Britt is officially on sale, and I hope you’ll join us. Pink Martini will take the stage on August 24, following a night of fun and fundraising. Best of Britt will pair 10 wineries with 10 restaurants for some creative and fun food/beverage pairings, and we’ll have a carefully-curated selection of auction items for your consideration. Proceeds from the auction and the paddle raise will support Education & Engagement: programs like our Britt Kids Klub, Britt Kids Koncerts (lineup to be announced soon), residencies in schools all year, and our fellowship program with the Britt Festival Orchestra. The event sells out every year, so be sure to give us a call or visit brittfest.org and reserve your tickets. It’s a lot of fun.

While I can’t reveal the BFO season quite yet, it’s going to be a really special year. Teddy Abrams has put together a season with some of the best-known works in classical music alongside his signature adventurous programming. There’s also one big surprise taking place on Saturday, June 17, so be sure to keep your calendar open. Missing it would be inconceivable.

You may have also seen that we’re bringing back Rebelution on August 27, and those tickets are on sale now. Fan favorite Iration will be part of the show, and I know many of you joined us last year for both acts. Since they’ll be sharing one evening we’re sure to sell out, so get your tickets early.

Finally, our March concert announcement will reveal the first slate of performers for 2023! We have some incredible acts lined up for you this season, and I urge you to consider becoming a Member of Britt so you have first access to the shows you want to see. Membership is a donation to Britt, supporting not only our fabulous Britt Presents shows but also the BFO, Education & Engagement, and stewarding the Britt park. We always appreciate your consideration.

It’s a pleasure to look forward to another summer of fun with you, and I hope you have a great month. More soon!

All best, Abby
