The Castleton Festival is a place where the future meets the present - the future stars of the opera and concert worlds are nurtured by its present stars, especially the world renowned Lorin Maazel: "Not only does the Maestro bring out the best in these young musicians, they bring out the best in him. And ultimately, that's what makes the Castleton so special; young artist-fueled summer programs abound, but where else can they learn from the undisputed best?" Gramophone Magazine (2010).
