A dynamic 4-week music festival providing intimate access to the world’s best music in the heart of the Finger Lakes Region.

For more than 40 years we have brought some of the world’s most talented musicians to perform on our stage, with the hope of building community and enduring friendships through music. Our goal is to provide an experience that is inspiring, joyful, and engaging.
