The General Theological Seminary (GTS) stands on what used to be called "Chelsea Farms" and is the origin of the Chelsea neighborhood. It counts as one of the unique green and peaceful oases amidst bustling Manhattan. GTS is the center of activity of the Festival where Festival goers can find out the latest on concerts, ticketing and impromptu daytime events.

The Chelsea Art Museum (CAM) is New York's youngest Contemporary Art Museum and will host a number of events including the Festival Opening and Closing Concerts as well as a Saturday morning family event and a Friday late night event. In collaboration with a network of museums and visual arts institutions both national and international, the Chelsea Art Museum seeks to present important, but relatively unexplored dimensions of 20th and 21st Century art, particularly focusing on artists that have been less exposed in the United States than in their home countries. CAM is home to the Miotte Foundation and houses Art work as well as sculptures of Jean Miotte.

The Leo Baeck Institute (LBI) is located toward the eastern border of Chelsea near Union Square and is a research, exhibition, and lecture center whose library and archives offer the most comprehensive documentation for the study of German Jewish history. It also houses a 250-seat concert space that will host this year's festival program centered around Gustav Mahler.

St.Paul's Church is home to a magnificently restored romantic Organ that will be in the center of our Choral and Organ program featuring Stephen Tharp and Cantori New York.
