Chateauville Foundation & the Performing Arts

The Chateauville Foundation was established at Castleton Farms in 1997 by Lorin and Dietlinde Maazel to nurture young artists, foster collaborative artistic enterprise and create opportunities in the community for shared cultural experiences. In an intimate, acoustically superb and highly versatile Theatre House on the Maazel's 550-acre property in Rappahannock County, lovers of the performing arts may enjoy concerts, recitals and fully-staged operas performed by young artists participating in the Castleton Residency program. The new Castleton Music Festival in July offers chamber operas, recitals, chamber music and open master classes.
