OBMF CONCERT SCHEDULE 2025
OBMF brings the next generation of world class musicians to Long Island for a week of concerts in historic, charming, and unusual landmarks along the Gold Coast. During the 7-day festival, 11 distinct concerts at 8 venues will feature international talent and local stars with innovative and creative programming.
Each OBMF concert is an energetic variety show featuring inspiring musical selections from a performing cast of 22 prize-winning musicians (many still in their twenties) - including vocalists, pianists, strings and wind players. The Festival’s unique style of concert programs present a breathtaking and eclectic approach to experiencing live music that is not to be missed. While each program is a unique event with completely different repertoire, the overriding theme to this season’s festival is Emotion. Each concert will approach this theme of music and emotion with a different lens - promising tears of joy, laughter, and human connection.
ALL OF OUR CONCERTS ARE FREE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 3 CONCERTS THAT SHOW AN “ORDER TICKETS” BUTTON BELOW THEIR HEADING.
DONATIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME, AND WILL HELP ENSURE THE LONGEVITY OF OBMF.
