The days are getting longer, the air is getting warmer,
and the harsh winter winds are abating. It’s a time when
we start to look past the regular performance season
and toward greener, pleasanter climes. Welcome to festival
season, when performers and audiences gather in bucolic
surroundings to celebrate both nature and music.
You’ll find chamber music festivals across the country
and in Canada and Europe as well. There are festivals
where students and teachers can immerse themselves
in music, and those where audiences can gaze at the
summer sky. Whatever the occasion, and whatever the
locale, you’ll find a different kind of music making—ever-
so-subtly tempered by the world surrounding us.
Note: The vast majority of the seasonal programs listed
below will take place in SUMMER, defined here as June,
July, August and early September. Festivals that fall
outside of this period are specially designated as taking
place in SPRING, FALL, or WINTER.
