The Vermont Mozart Festival (1974–2010) was a series of indoor and outdoor concerts presented annually at sites throughout the state of Vermont. The Inaugural Festival of 1974 was conceived as a celebration of both the natural beauty of the state and the genius of the Festival's namesake, composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The Festival's mission quickly grew, and since its third season it featured performances of a much broader range of classical and other repertoire.

“Anything I can say about New Hampshire
Will serve almost as well about Vermont,

The Vermont mountains stretch extended straight;
New Hampshire mountains curl up in a coil.”
