GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — Greensboro's long-running annual summer music festival will be no more.

The Eastern Music Festival announced on Facebook Monday that the organization would "cease operations."

This comes just after a labor dispute halted festival operations earlier this year, according to the Triad Business Journal.

According to its website, the EMF is "a nationally recognized classical music festival and summer educational program" that is produced each summer on the campus of Guilford College or at other venues in Greensboro.

In 1961, Sheldon Morgenstern founded the EMF on the campus of Guilford College with one goal: "to start a summer music camp where the study would be oriented towards the student."
