Well, unfortunately, more lousy weather (this time in the form of way too much wind) has forced us to cancel today's Long Island Mozart Festival. It's either that or watch the musicians chase their music around Old Westbury Gardens. We'll reschedule everything for sometime in the near future. Keep an eye on http://longislandmozartfestival.com/ for updates.

The events scheduled for Saturday May 25th have been cancelled due to inclement weather. Contact Us for refunds and other questions. We apologize for the inconvenience.
