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.

Across the centuries, composers have found resonance in Nature. This playful and delightful program features leading English violinist Anthony Marwood in Schubert’s beloved “Trout” Quintet; Xhosa composer Bongani Ndodana-Breen’s Intlanzi Yase Mzantsi (The Fish from South Africa, based on Schubert’s “Trout”); and music by Nino Rota, composer of the famous film score to The Godfather. Festival Artistic Directors Aaron Wunsch and Julia Bruskin join, along with Brandon Ridenour, who “heralds the trumpet of the future” (Chicago Sun Times).
