A Note From The Artistic Directors...
Dear Friends,
Our 18th season is quickly approaching, and we can’t wait to see you! This year, we’ve organized the festival so that it swells (a crescendo, if you will) to our formal concerts at Fort Hill Performing Arts Center.
We begin with delightful wine/music pairings at Ferris Hills on West Lake on July 17, then we’re extremely excited to announce that we’re partnering with the The Lake House on Canandaigua to produce a food/music pairing experience on July 19! July 20 is Classical Blue Jeans, our audience favorite, at Casa Larga Vineyards with Klezmer artists Alexander Margolis and Michael Leopold, and July 21 is our children’s concert with our friends at Wood Library.
Our concert at Fort Hill Performing Arts Center on July 22 will feature a sensational solo piano set with music by Liszt, Ravel, Schubert, and Scarlatti performed by Donna Kwong. We’ll be joined by RPO violinist Thomas Rodgers and Pacific Symphony principal violist Meredith Crawford in the second half to perform Mendelssohn’s second string quartet. On July 24, we’ll feature the music of Amy Beach and Rebecca Clarke and close the season with Robert Schumann’s celebratory Piano Quartet.
All of the festival artists can’t wait to make music for you!
Warmly,
Amy and Kevin
