The Castleton Festival's annual Viva La Musica Gala, a benefit performance, silent auction and dinner, supports Maestro Lorin Maazel’s Castleton Artists Training Seminar (C.A.T.S.), a rigorous, credit-earning, eight-week program at Castleton Farms where promising young artists attend classes and coaching with professional artists, gaining invaluable artistic experience. This year's gala will feature Grammy winner Susan Graham, accomplished pianist Alessandro Taverna, members of the 2013 C.A.T.S. program and a special appearance by the US Army Chorus.
