SMF is one of the region’s leading arts presenters, producing an internationally acclaimed cross-genre music festival, education programs for local schoolchildren and budding musicians in jazz and acoustic music, a weekly public radio series and off-season concert events.
Schedule of Events:
5:00 pm - 7:00 pm: Kaia Kater / Viv & Riley
Grenadian-Canadian Kaia Kater’s jazz-fueled voice and deft songcraft have garnered her extensive critical acclaim. Through artful banjo playing and lush songwriting, Kaia draws on influences rooted in Quebec, the Caribbean and Appalachia, all of which reflect the diversity of her background. Kater was a participant in SMF’s Acoustic Music Seminar, and was also a featured artist in SMF’s Musical Explorers program with bassist Andrew Ryan.
Viv & Riley (Vivian Leva and Riley Calcagno) play old-soul roots music, combining a traditional backbone with the fresh melodies of indie folk, and the tightly wound vocal harmonies of the old-time and classic country music they grew up with. Since 2018, they’ve recorded and released multiple albums to critical acclaim. The two also play in the old-time stringband The Onlies, and serve as co-artistic directors of The Festival of American Fiddle Tunes.
Location: Metal Building at Trustees' Garden 660 East Broughton Street, Savannah, GA 31401.

6:00 pm - 8:00 pm: Philip Dukes & Friends Chamber Series - Philip Dukes & Friends III: Bach’s Eternal Inspiration
Some 200 years after Bach’s death, 20th Century composers were still heavily inspired by the Baroque Era and the compositional techniques used (fugue, counterpoint, etc.), Stravinsky being one such composer. The fact that this will unquestionably still be the case in 2050, makes Bach’s music an eternal inspiration.
