We are excited to partner with Puddingstone Festival on an evening of music at Rough Point! Our founder Doris Duke was a supporter of the arts, as well as a musician, a dancer, and an art collector. We are delighted to host this evening celebrating the performing arts in her home.

On November 1, enjoy a spellbinding recital with violinist Geneva Lewis—acclaimed by Musical America and BBC as a leading artist to watch—and renowned pianist Audrey Vardanega, who has graced distinguished stages worldwide, including Merkin Hall in New York. Their program will feature masterpieces by Schumann, Schubert, and Brahms. The evening will also showcase visual art, thoughtfully integrated into the concert, offering audiences an immersive experience that unites visual and musical artistry.
