About this property

Maverick Concert Hall was built in 1916 and was part of the Maverick Artist Colony in Hurley, New York. The Maverick developed out of the Maverick Festival, an early 20th-century communal arts gathering near Woodstock that combined music, theater, and outdoor performance in a rustic woodland setting. Contemporary newspaper accounts described the Maverick Festival as a rustic outdoor arts community near Woodstock where music, theater, and dance were staged in converted woodland performance spaces. The concert hall hosts the Maverick Concerts, a summer chamber music festival. Alexander Platt is the current music director. The mainstay of the series, which runs from the end of June through early September, is to be found in the chamber music concerts performed by distinguished soloists and ensembles on Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons. The Maverick Festival, a precursor to the Maverick Concerts, was founded in 1915 by Hervey White, and by 1931 the festival suspended. Maverick’s early years portrayed the colony as an experiment in independent artistic living that drew prominent artists, musicians, and literary figures to Woodstock.
