Grounds

The Chamber Music Festival will be held again in the Newtown Paddocks of Fasig-Tipton Company, one of the world’s premier auction houses for Thoroughbred horses. Fasig-Tipton is a longtime fixture in Lexington’s acclaimed Bluegrass region, located just minutes from the famous Kentucky Horse Park, one of the state’s most visited attractions and home of the highly successful international event, the 2010 All Tech World Equestrian Games. Fasig-Tipton is also just minutes from I-64 and I-75 which form the northern perimeter of Lexington. All concerts will be held in the beautiful arena, where a multi-million dollar refurbishing has made it the perfect arena for world-class chamber music.
