By: Canandaigua LakeMusic Festival “In a very short time, this Festival has become an integral part of summer in the Finger Lakes,” said Canandaigua Mayor Ellen Polimeni. “This line-up of world-class performers is one of the important reasons that Canandaigua is gaining a reputation as a center for the performaning and visual arts. We look forward to the innovative music being presented at this year's Canandaigua LakeMusic Festival!” “Each of our concert programs is like a tasting menu ranging from familiar masterworks to the delightfully unexpected,” About the Season The Canandaigua Lake Music Festival Concerts, scheduled for Friday and Sunday evenings from August 22-31, will take place at Zion Fellowship, which is on Bristol Road, just four miles off Main Street in Canandaigua, NY, near Routes 5 and 20. “We are very lucky to be holding this series in one of the best performance spaces in the area,” adds co-Artistic Director Amy Sue Barston. “Not only is this air-conditioned hall acoustically excellent, but our audiences always comment about the warm ambiance and the powerful sense of intimacy they feel as they listen to world-class artists close up.” Amelia Piano Trio (Friday, 8/22) The first series opens with the Canandaigua debut of the critically-acclaimed Amelia Piano Trio, performing masterworks by Haydn and Brahms along with a rarely heard, jazz-influenced trio by American icon Leonard Bernstein. Corigliano Quartet (Sunday, 8/24) Hailed for its “knockout performances” Classical Blue Jeans (Wednesday, 8/27) CLF’s signature Classical Blue Jeans, a family-friendly chicken barbecue and fiddle fest, also will feature the incomparable skills of Israeli pianist, composer and improvisation artist Noam Sivan, this year’s Festival composer-in- “Noam Sivan will lead a lively musical show for the whole family that invites the audience to unlock their inner composer, experiencing music from the inside out,” says Klorman. “By the end of the night, you’ll hear Noam and Juliana Athayde improvising music right on the spot, based on ideas and suggestions from the audience. I promise it’s unlike anything you’ve experienced before!” Classical Blue Jeans concludes with fiddling selections from Marc O’Connor’s Appalachia Waltz collection. For the first time, this event will take place at Bristol Harbour, a lakeside, Adirondack-style golf resort overlooking Canandaigua Lake. According to Klorman, this event is always sold out, but the larger venue will help handle the growing audiences. Special lodging rates are available at Bristol Harbour. LakeMusic (Friday, 8/29) The Festival continues with its first ever thematic programs. LakeMusic explores musical images of water by Debussy, Brahms and Schubert: Debussy's dreamy Reflections in Water and selections from his Preludes Brahms' G-major Violin Sonata--famous for its rain-song finale--performed by Jon Nakamatsu and Juliana Athayde. Schubert's Trout Quintet, one of the most famous works of chamber music literature, was selected for the area’s reputation for fabulous brown trout. Appalachian Spring (Sunday, 8/31) The season closes with Copland’s beloved Appalachian Spring (in the original version for 13 instruments) About the Canandaigua LakeMusic Festival: Founded in 2004, the Canandaigua Lake Chamber Music Festival has quickly become an essential part of cultural life in the greater Rochester and Finger Lakes region. Formerly known as the Canandaigua Lake Chamber Music Festival, this summer Canandaigua LakeMusic Festival (CLF) announced it was re-launching itself under a newly shortened name to better reflect the diversity of the music selections, performance configurations and the widening geographic community attending its concerts. “You’ll hear the same great music from a Festival with a name that’s now a little easier to remember,” said Edward Klorman. The Festival added a Winter Concert Series in Rochester, by popular demand, in addition to its upcoming summer series in Canandaigua. The LakeMusic Festival continues to build a strong reputation for attracting world-class performers, developing innovative musical programs and maintaining its connection to the community with master classes, family concerts and meet the composer events. The Festival’s extensive community engagement efforts have recently been lauded by New Yorker critic Alex Ross. # # # Optimized press release service, copywriter, and SEO guru for the Finger Lakes area.
