Festivals, 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 Schools & and toward greener, pleasanter climes. Welcome to festival season, when performers and audiences gather in bucolic surroundings to celebrate both nature and music. Workshops 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.
United States Gospel, Jewish and Native American choirs, and more.
