From the Czech spirit of Dvorak to the Spanish rhythms and Oriental flavors in Ravel, each of our concert programs leads you on an enchanting journey with performances by an exciting roster of musical stars.

You’ll enjoy the local debuts of many exciting artists and ensembles, including the multi-genre cellist Mike Block and clarinetist Moran Katz. The celebrated American pianist and composer Lowell Liebermann returns to Canandaigua for a special musical celebration of his 50th birthday season. And you won’t want to miss best-selling author and radio personality David Rakoff, who is your host for The Kreutzer Sonata, a gripping program that links music by Beethoven and Janacek to a tale by Tolstoy.
As we celebrate seven years of world-class music at the Canandaigua LakeMusic Festival, we have enjoyed watching the festival family grow each year. Please help us to spread the word by inviting your friends to join us for a summer of musical magic! With everything we do, we strive to be your festival, and we invite you to be a part of it!
