Newport, RI; December 4, 2015 – The Board of Directors of the Newport Music Festival elected Virginia Gambale as President at its meeting on December 4th. She is the 8th President in the Festival’s 46-year history.

Before going on to earn a masters degree in mathematics and computer science at the New York Institute of Technology, Ms. Gambale studied piano performance at The Juilliard School and the Hartt School of Music.

Given her background in both music and business leadership, it would be hard to imagine a person better suited to help lead the Newport Music Festival to a more glorious future. – Mark Malkovich
