2025 IMPACT REPORT
“Caramoor is different. It’s not a venue, it’s a community.”
– Kathy Pucci
Why Caramoor Matters
At Caramoor, music lives in conversation with place, history, and community. Across our 81-acre campus in Katonah, New York, world-class artists and rising stars come together with audiences of all ages to experience live performance in settings unlike any other.
Each year, Caramoor offers moments of discovery, reflection, and joy, whether under the summer sky, inside the historic Rosen House, or along the garden paths where sound and nature meet. Our programs celebrate artistic excellence while remaining deeply rooted in accessibility, mentorship, and community connection.
In 2025, Caramoor continued to honor its legacy while looking boldly toward the future, inviting new audiences to experience the transformative power of music in a setting that inspires curiosity, belonging, and wonder.
A Message from the Chairman of The Board of Trustees
It is a pleasure to reflect on a year that so clearly captures what makes Caramoor special.
In 2025, Caramoor continued to flourish as a place where extraordinary artistry, a remarkable setting, and a strong sense of community come together. Throughout the season, we welcomed inspiring artists, expanded our reach to new audiences, and strengthened our position as a cultural cornerstone for Westchester County and beyond. These successes are the result of a shared commitment among our staff, artists, trustees, volunteers, donors, and audiences, all of whom care deeply about Caramoor’s mission.
As we celebrated Caramoor’s 80th anniversary, the Board remains ever more optimistic about the future. We are proud to steward this extraordinary campus, honor its history, and support the next chapter of growth and creativity.
Thank you for your generosity, your partnership, and your belief in Caramoor. We move forward together with confidence and excitement for what lies ahead.
With gratitude,
James A. Attwood
A Message from the President and CEO
It is truly a privilege to serve as Caramoor’s new President and CEO, and I am deeply grateful for the warm welcome I received into an organization with such a rich history and an extraordinary sense of place.
From my earliest days on campus, I was struck by the generosity of spirit that defines Caramoor, a generosity rooted in the vision of Lucie and Walter Rosen, who believed deeply in the power of music when shared in a setting of beauty, openness, and welcome. That founding ethos continues to guide Caramoor today, shaping how we present artists, care for the Rosen House and gardens, and invite our community to gather and experience live performance together.
In 2025, that spirit was felt across our campus, from summer evenings under the open sky to intimate performances in the Rosen House. We welcomed new audiences alongside longtime supporters, deepened relationships with artists, and continued to create moments of discovery that reflect Caramoor’s distinctive character as we celebrated our 80th anniversary.
I am deeply grateful to the trustees, staff, donors, artists, volunteers, and audiences who make this work possible. Your support sustains Caramoor today and shapes what we will become in the years ahead. It is an honor to lead this organization at such a meaningful moment, and I look ahead with optimism and excitement for the next chapter of Caramoor’s story.
With sincere appreciation,
Gillian Fox

A Message from the Artistic Director
As we look back at our 80th season, Caramoor continues to celebrate the transformative power of live music
performances. The year was filled with more than 50 thrilling concerts, by the leading artists of our time and rising stars, spanning early music to works written today, across a broad range of genres and presented at our five unique venues.
2025 Concert Highlights
The Spring season began, as it usually does, with our weeklong Schwab Vocal Rising Stars mentoring program, led by Steven Blier. The Music Room also hosted concerts by the Baroque ensemble Twelfth Night, Brentano Quartet, the genre-bending acoustic band Twisted Pine, jazz pianist and singer Nicole Zuraitis, and the second concert by our 2024-25 Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-inResidence, the Terra String Quartet.
Highlights of our 80th Anniversary Summer Season included Opening Night with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s performing Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony led by conductor
Rafael Payare making his Caramoor debut, as did conductors Anna Rakitina and Teddy Abrams later in the summer, with soloists Stella Chen and Garrick Ohlsson. Baroque offerings included Telemann’s opera Pimpinone paired with his dramatic cantata Ino from Boston Early Music Festival, and an evening with countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo singing Handel and Vivaldi arias with Twelfth Night (a last-minute replacement for a cancelled performance of Monteverdi’s L’incoronazione di Poppea by Cappella Mediterranea, whose work visas were not approved in time). Emanuel Ax, Leonidas Kavakos, and Yo-Yo Ma teamed up to perform the latest iteration of their “Beethoven for Three” project; Daniil Trifonov, Timo Andres, and George Li gave solo piano recitals; new music concerts included the Grammywinning team of Sō Percussion and composer and vocalist Caroline Shaw, as well as a free performance of Terry Riley’s seminal In C produced by Bang on a Can; and The Knights returned, featuring mandolinist Chris Thile. The lineup of chamber performances included the Takács and Escher Quartets, the latter with pianist Alessio Bax; a violin recital from Evnin Rising Star alumna Claire Bourg
accompanied by Jinhee Park in the Music Room; the final performance of the residency by the Terra String Quartet; and the return of Bay Area vocal ensemble Chanticleer with their ecology-themed program “Music of a Silent World.” Caramoor’s all-day Jazz Festival featured a headlining performance by Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, and jazz bassist Endea Owens and the Cookout performed a stand-alone concert; La Excelencia and American Roots artists Molly Tuttle, Lyle Lovett and His Large Band, and Ranky Tanky headlined their own shows in addition to the all-day American Roots Music Festival. The annual free Juneteenth celebration featured The Legendary Ingramettes; Music From The Sole celebrated tap dance’s roots in the African diaspora; Seth Rudetsky hosted a celebration of Broadway Pride; Music and Meditation in the Garden featured performances from viola duo Tallā Rouge, the duo of flutist Alex Sopp and violinist Austin Wulliman, and cellist Gabriel Cabezas with guitarist Jordan Dodson; and the annual Pops, Patriots, and Fireworks concert featured the Westchester Symphonic Winds and guest vocalist Mimi Hilaire.
The Fall season in the Music Room (now officially branded as the Rosen House Concert Series) saw the return of cellist Abel Selaocoe, cabaret with Stella Cole, guitarist Raphaël Feuillâtre, The English Concert led by Harry Bicket, the Evnin Rising Stars (our mentoring program for instrumentalists led by cellist Marcy Rosen), Christie Dashiell Quartet, The Arcadian Wild, and the first concert by our 2026-27 Stiefel Quartet –the Poiesis Quartet (named one of the Best Classical Music Performances of 2025 by The New York Times). We ended the year with a Christmas concert by the German vocal ensemble Amarcord and our annual December benefit, featuring Rosanne Cash performing an intimate show with her husband John Leventhal.
It’s a joy to help bring these unique musical experiences to the Caramoor community.
Kathy Schuman
“I cannot express my gratitude enough for having us as Schwab Vocal Rising Stars! It was the most fantastic week unlike any experience I’ve had before. It’s not every day that you get to rehearse and perform with extremely talented people while surrounded by precious, meaningful art in every room. I never wanted to leave the Music Room, even when we weren’t working on my pieces, because I learned so much about myself from watching the others work. They’re all such thoughtful, intentional, talented, kind, hilarious, intelligent people and it was an absolute joy to be surrounded by such artists.”
- Kate Morton, Schwab Vocal Rising Star
Education, Mentoring, and Community Engagement
At Caramoor, we believe that access to music is essential. Our education and engagement initiatives bring artists into classrooms, welcome families to the grounds, and foster meaningful connections between musicians and the community.
In 2025:
• Local students reached through our Student Strings program: 1,000
• Schools and partner organizations served: 14
• Free or reduced-price tickets distributed: 5,714
Through these efforts, Caramoor continues to nurture curiosity, creativity, and lifelong relationships with the arts.
“Our residency at Caramoor was lovely in every way - we loved getting to meet all the brilliant and talented children and getting to stay on the beautiful grounds felt like such a treat! We feel so lucky to have joined the Caramoor community and to have been given such artistic freedom to bring our Britten project to life. Getting a chance to share a program that means so much to us with the warm community you have fostered in such an aesthetically exquisite space was the highlight of our autumn. Thank you for being so generous with your time and energy as well, and for all the invaluable advice you have imparted onto us.”
- Terra String Quartet
- Kate Morton, Schwab Vocal Rising Star “ ”
I learned so much about myself from watching the others work.
“If it’s any metric for how special last week was for me, my heart’s been feeling heavy like I’m a kid who had to leave summer camp all over again. I consider myself lucky and grateful to be doing any of this, so thank you for making me a part of what Caramoor does!”
- Cellist Leland Ko, Evnin Rising Star
“Our students were thoroughly impressed with Poiesis Quartet’s visit. The music Poiesis selected and performed resonated with many of our students, and the context they provided related to the composer’s intentions made those selections more impactful. Our orchestra has been discussing/implementing some of the feedback the quartet musicians provided, and I am seeing a change in both their playing and their musical perception of each other. These visits are essential to our orchestra’s curriculum - hearing professional players perform right in our own auditorium, and receiving helpful, constructive feedback elevates our work in both the short term and long term. The orchestra is absolutely looking forward to their return!”
- Mike Maino, orchestra director at Somers High School
“I was blown away by the Poiesis Quartet’s recital. The energy, precision, and artistry were mind-blowing and inspiring. The masterclass offered thoughtful, actionable feedback that immediately helped me rethink my approach to my cello technique and musical expression. Thank you for sharing your time and talent!”
- Genesis, INTEMPO cello student
The Rosen House
2025 proved to be a year of achievement for the Rosen House.
We marked 80 years of Caramoor’s history with the second annual Focus Tour: Caramoor & World War II. Visitors had the chance to learn how the Rosens and their extended family experienced the war, how their joy and grief mirrored those of other Americans, and how the events of the war led to the Caramoor of today. Our dedicated Rosen House docents shared new stories with visitors, both through docent-led tours and during Open Houses, prompting my favorite comment to overhear from guests: “I never knew that before!” Christine Brennan, Provenance Researcher and Collections Manager for the Department of Medieval Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, delivered the Focus Tour lecture, delving into the Rosens’ connections to the MMA and to the network of dealers and “Monuments Men and Women” who would go on to build American museum collections in the post-war years.
Extending Caramoor’s commitment to mentorship, we hosted the second annual Summer Research Fellowship, a chance for an advanced undergraduate or graduate student to gain hands-on experience with collection and archives. Annalise Gall, a graduate student from the Fashion Institute of Technology, laid the groundwork for the 2026 Focus Tour with her intensive object-based study of Lucie Rosen’s garments and accessories.
Several pieces underwent conservation treatment, including the “hidden painting” of Flora Dodge by Amanda Brewster Sewell; a watercolor by Ambrose McEvoy; one of the red lacquer chinoiserie armchairs by Giles Grendy and two monumental E. F. Caldwell lamps in the form of urns in the Formal Dining Room. Work continues to restore architecturally significant windows in the Rosen House, and basement windows and doors were replaced to improve our heat retention and pest barrier.
Archival research led to blog posts about the Music Room’s stained-glass windows and twisted columns, in addition to World War II themes. We now have a curriculum for new docent training, in order to bring new volunteer docents onto our roster and ensure we can continue to engage visitors long into the future.
I look forward to sharing all our discoveries with visitors and building on the successes of 2025. As always, I invite visitors—both new and returning—to step into the open doors of the Rosen House, take a tour and have a chance to say, “I never knew that before!”
Jessa Krick
Director of Interpretation, Collection, and Archives, the Rosen House
A New Discovery in the Collection
In 2024, a major discovery came to light in the Rosen House collection when the portrait of Lucie Rosen’s mother Flora (Bigelow) Dodge by the artist Amanda Brewster Sewell was sent for conservation. Treatment revealed an entire second canvas stretched on the same stretchers and placed in the same frame, a highly unusual practice. The hidden painting proved to be a second, earlier portrait of the same sitter by the same artist. Over the course of ten months in 2025, with support from the Greater Hudson Heritage Network and New York State Council on the Arts, the painting was conserved and framed in a period frame. Jessa Krick unveiled the canvas during Caramoor’s December Benefit, and the painting is now on view in the Rosen House for the first time.
IN 2025:
Rosen House tours: 850
Afternoon teas: 33
Key grounds initiatives this year included:
Continued the Preservation Plan with Year 1 of a multi-year window and door restoration and replacement project at the Rosen House
Completed replacement of doors and windows at the Superintendent’s Cottage
• Lifted and relayed clay red tile roof with 1/3 new tiles, replaced gutters, and repaired stucco and structure columns at the Italian Pavilion
• Refurbished the interior of the Venetian Theater Stage House, sandblasting and repainting steel girders and replacing the stage floor
Flora (Bigelow) Dodge, later Mrs. Lionel Guest, kept both paintings with her in London during her lifetime. While we don’t have all the answers as to when or why Flora might have hidden the earlier portrait, one theory is that the first image reminded her of her unhappy first marriage to Charles Stuart Dodge, whom she divorced in 1903. Flora commissioned the second painting while she was still married, but the image differs greatly in her pose and attire. These two paintings by the same artist allow for a fascinating comparison. Viewers today can relate: which image of ourselves do we present to the world?
Caramoor’s very own art history mystery has piqued the interest of docents, visitors, and the fine art scholarly community, and the discovery has prompted new inquiry into the lives of both Flora (Bigelow) Dodge and artist Amanda Brewster Sewell.
The NYSCA/GHHN Conservation Grant Treatment Program is made possible with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

Public Programs at a Glance
Caramoor has long been known as a Garden of Great Music. However, its unique character offers the opportunity for different experiences on every visit, reaching audiences beyond our traditional music community. The gardens offer moments of peaceful reflection. The expansive grounds and wooded trails engage families in fun and discovery. The Rosen House and its collection reveal new stories and avenues for engagement.
In 2025, we set out to tap these resources to create a series of programs that are Beyond the Music. We piloted programming along three tracks:
• Nature and Wellness / Programs that nurture the mind, body, and spirit presented by skilled professionals and community partners who share a passion for holistic well-being
• Family Fun / Interactive programs that spark curiosity and a love for art and music, providing unique opportunities for shared experiences
• Conversations at Caramoor / Thoughtfully curated programs that explore themes that resonate with the Rosen House and its collection or otherwise complement our mission
The development of the series has the added benefits of filling our calendar and campus with activity when the music is quiet and collaborating with our community members who have complementary offerings. Press interest has been strong; program listings are popping up on community calendars and in our partners’ social media feeds, spreading the word about Caramoor in new circles.
With the launch of new programs in the second half of the year, we welcomed several first-time ticket buyers and received positive feedback from longtime patrons about adding this diversity of activity. New programming included Sunset Yoga in the Sunken Garden, Gingerbread House Decorating for Families, and Beer and Cheese Pairing Classes.
We look forward to offering more opportunities for new guests to find community here and to share the full beauty and depth of Caramoor.
Gayle Greves Director of Guest Experience and Public Programs
