The Aston Magna Foundation for Music and the Humanities is dedicated to the performance and study of 17th- and 18th-century music. Founded in 1972, the Aston Magna Festival—the oldest summer festival in America devoted to music performed on period instruments—has been held in the Berkshires every year since its inception and at Bard since 1984.
