The festival also focuses on the performance and recording of musical rarities.
The festival's original conductor/artistic director was Charles Bornstein. Since 1983, guest conductors were an integral part of the festival format. Performances also included a chamber music series and concerts in the Woodstock square gazebo (as part of the City of Woodstock's concert in the parks series).
