ChamberFest Canandaigua

A Note From The Artistic Directors...

Picture
Dear Friends,

This year’s festival theme is “Symphony in a Teacup” and offers four ticketed events and three free community outreach programs.
 
We are featuring works of music that have a notable majestic breadth. They conjure the symphonic colors and qualities of a whole orchestra, but are chamber works: they use fewer instruments in a more intimate setting. For instance, the Beethoven Septet sounds symphonic but only utilizes seven instruments: French horn, bassoon, clarinet, violin, viola, cello, and double bass.  It’s like an "up close and personal" philharmonic! Similarly, the Brahms Clarinet Sonata is beloved for its large scale amorous sweep, but uses only two instruments: clarinet and piano. Both works will be performed in concert on Friday, July 21, 7:15PM at Cobblestone Arts Center in Farmington.
 
Mainstay programming is a Free Children’s Concert and Classical Blue Jeans—both have been part of the festival since its inception. The Children’s Concert, this year titled “Don’t Let the Pigeon Play the Violin!!!”,  is a lively 30 minute musical show led by Amy and other CFC musicians (Thursday, July 20, 11AM, Wood Library, Canandaigua).
 
Classical Blue Jeans, an interactive musical show with dinner, is a signature ticketed event and always sells out. This year celebrated clarinetist Moran Katz joins other esteemed guest artists such as pianist Donna Kwong and violist Jessica Meyer (who makes her ChamberFest debut).  As always, Barston and Kumar will play blazing fiddle music and favorite Appalachian tunes. (Wednesday, July 19, 6PM, Casa Larga Vineyards in Fairport).
 
Peeking ahead at ChamberFest Canandaigua’s 2024 season: a brand new work is being composed to mark the festival’s 20th anniversary.  Details will be announced next year!

Warmly,
Amy and Kevin
