Cook with Nature and Music at Garth Newel Music Center

To add even more rural flavor to your weekend experience, concerts are held in Herter Hall, a converted show ring once used to train prize-winning Arabian horses, but now known for its fine acoustics.

To really immerse yourself in Garth Newel's pastoral setting, make reservations to stay at the elegant 1924 Manor House, with ten bedrooms, nine full baths, three half-baths, a magnificent Great Hall, library and kitchen.

The Garth Newel Music Center is not named after a person, but is Welsh for "new hearth" or "new home," a name selected by former owners William Sergeant Kendall and Christine Herter Kendall. The Center was founded in 1973 by Christine Herter Kendall and musicians Luca and Arlene Di Cecco.

The Garth Newel Music Center, a non-profit musical organization, is located in scenic Bath County (www.bathcountyva.org), halfway between Warm Springs and Hot Springs, in western Virginia on U.S. 220. It is approximately 75 miles from Roanoke, Va.; 210 miles from Washington, D.C.; and 140 miles from Charleston, W.Va.
