Whatever your idea of a good time, you’ll find it around Lake Erie. Best Chautauqua Lake Getaway Chautauqua Lake offers year-round nourishment for the mind, body and soul, even beyond the gates of the Chautauqua Institution. Along its 41 miles of shoreline, you’ll find small villages, each with its own distinctive charm. Listen to moving music in Mayville, fill your belly in Bemus Point, laugh in Jamestown or head south to Celoron, where a new destination hotel is making waves. At first light, strands of sunshine mingle with swirling mist hovering just above Chautauqua Lake on a crisp morning. The water is calm until a skein of honking geese come in for a landing, skidding across the surface and sending a wave of ripples in front of the resort-like Chautauqua Harbor Hotel in Celoron, New York. The 135-room hotel opened last year on the grounds of the famed Celoron Park, a popular theme park that opened in 1894 and shuttered in 1962. It’s a great spot for a getaway — anytime of the year — and makes an ideal launching spot for exploring the rest of the lake. But before you head out, make sure to enjoy what the Chautauqua Harbor Hotel has to offer.

  • History of Vocal and Instrumental Music '-- in Chautauqua County, New York
    1 HISTORY OF VOCAL AND INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC '-- IN CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY, NEW YORK. "" A paper read at the 35th. Annual Meeting of the New York State Histor­ ical Association, at Chautauqua Instltution, by ~ilden R. Broacberry, MUsic Editor of the Jamestown EWBning Journal. In treating of music in Chautauqua County, it will be necessary for us at first, in order to get a clear perspective, to dis-associate in our minds andCOPYRIGHTfrom our consideration, modern music in all its splen- did development, and to hark back to primitive beginnings. In fact, as far as music in the best sense of the term is concerned, the first CHAUTAUQUA fifty years after the oreanlzation of our connty may be fittingly des- cribed as a pre-historia era. And yet, elsewhere in the world, the art had practically reached itsCOUNTYzenith, thru the efforts and labors of a coterie of men with whose names those interested in the art love HISTORICAL to conjure. Johann Sebastian Bach, the greatest composer of contra- puntal music, who breathed his last in 1750, was followed across the SOCIETY Styx by the youthful Mozart, who died in 1791, and by papa Haydn, who passed in 1809. These were followed, shortly afterWESTFIELD,the organization of this county, by the greatest of all, the mighty Beethoven, who dled in 1827. Thus, while Chautauqua County was still a wilderness I NY and mus~c unknown here, these constructive giants had almost2012 ex- hausted its possibilities. What has been accompliShed since must be looked upon as an elaboration of their ideas and efforts. While the incidents of blrths and deaths, of business and of material enterprises, of great achievements and of catastrophes in our county are reasonably well set forth,- music, Which until recently was looked upon 8S more or less of a ~riYiality, and as playing - -2- no particular part in life's scheme, has been neglected in our annals, and the records for its proper treatment are extremely meagre.
