Meet Caramoor’s new CEO, Edward J. Lewis III

Beginner’s Ear in 2020 with Anthony McGill, clarinet, & Nancy Allen, harp. Finally, we’ve recently introduced two new concert formats: Concerts on the Lawn, casual family- friendly concerts on Friends Field that feature high-energy artists in a variety of genres, and Beginner’s Ear, a Sunday morning series on the East Lawn designed to clear the mind and nourish the spirit through the shared experience of silence and music. I hope to see you in and around the grounds this summer!

Meet Edward J. Lewis III, President & CEO

Edward J. Lewis III at Caramoor

Please join us in welcoming Edward J. Lewis III as Caramoor’s new President & CEO!

With nearly two decades of experience in performing arts leadership, Ed comes to Caramoor from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, where he served as Vice Chancellor for Advancement since 2015. Prior to that, he served as Senior Director of Development at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center at the University of Maryland, College Park. Ed’s interest in Caramoor’s mission is personal. He is an accomplished violist, having earned a Bachelor of Music degree from Northwestern University and a Master of Music degree from the University of Michigan. He is also an alumnus of the University of Maryland School of Music, where he studied chamber music with the Guarneri String Quartet. He has performed as a member of the Dallas Opera Orchestra, the Dallas Chamber Orchestra, Santa Fe Pro Musica, and the Toledo Symphony. Because this is Ed’s first season at Caramoor (and in Westchester!), we asked him a few questions so that our audience members could learn a little bit more about him. Should you see him on the Caramoor grounds, please say hello and welcome him to the area!
