A Note From The Artistic Directors...

Cananadigua LakeMusic Festival is now called ChamberFest Canandaigua! Its 16th season will take place July 17 – July 26 and features some new venues and stellar talent from across the nation, with programs curated and performed by artistic directors Amy Sue Barston (cello) and Kevin Kumar (violin). The first weekend is devoted to two incredible works for winds and strings: Beethoven’s Septet  on July 17 , and Schubert’s Octet on July 19. At Classical Blue Jeans on July 22 at Casa Larga, the musicians roll up their sleeves to perform a wide variety of fun music and dine alongside the audience. A free Family Concert on July 23 is hosted by Wood Library. July 24 features strings in a heavenly Mozart Viola Quintet and acclaimed pianist Audrey Andrist in a masterful solo recital. The roster includes NYC based star clarinetist Moran Katz, RPO principal bass Cory Palmer, and the principal violists of the Pacific Symphony and Kansas City Symphony. July 26 is a day for Brahms, with his Viola Quintet and Piano Trio in B major.

Please let us know if you have any questions and thank you for all your continued support of ChamberFest Canandaigua.
