Geneva Music Festival performance to be held in Skaneateles
The 2019 Season of the Geneva Music Festival (GMF), to be held through June 16, will celebrate “Women in Music: Key Players.” Much of the festival’s programming will represent women’s contributions to music through featured composers or performers.
The following GMF concerts take place in Auburn and Skaneateles:
On June 14 in Skaneateles, the GMF will present the Chamber Music Finale, “Clive Greensmith and Friends.” Hannah Collins (cello), Esther Park (piano) and Geoffrey Herd and Shawn Moore (violins) join cellist Greensmith. The program opens with a work inspired and dedicated to Beethoven’s patron Countess Marie von Erdody, the exceptionally beautiful and exciting Piano Trio in E-Flat Major, Op. 70 no. 2. Geneva Music Festival’s chamber music season concludes with two blockbuster works by female composers, the epic Lyre of Orpheus sextet by Pulitzer prize winning composer, Shulamit Ran and the lyrical and melodic Piano Quintet by Amy Beach.
Concerts also take place in Geneva and Canandaigua throughout the Festival. A full schedule including most up-to-date concert details and locations, artist biographies and tickets are available on the festival’s website, www.genevamusicfestival.com.
Tickets for adult admission to each concert and an after-concert reception are $25 (ages 18 and under are free). Six-concert passes and season tickets only are available until the first concert, in Geneva on May 30, and may be purchased online prior to or in person at that concert. All venues are wheelchair accessible and air conditioned.
