CHAMBERFEST CANANDAIGUA FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES 18TH ANNUAL
SEASON JULY 16-24
CHAMBERFEST CANANDAIGUA SHOWCASES WORLD-CLASS PERFORMERS, THIS YEAR
INCLUDING CELEBRATED PIANIST DONNA KWONG AND VIOLINIST ALEXANDER “SASHA”
MARGOLIS AMONG AN ALL-STAR ENSEMBLE
Tickets available at www.ChamberFestCanandaigua.com
After a highly successful return to in-person concerts in 2021, event organizers proudly
announce their eighteenth annual season from July 16 -July 24.
The festival’s artistic directors, cellist Amy Sue Barston and violinist Kevin Kumar, are passionate
about engaging with audiences. Acclaimed musicians themselves, their non-traditional
approach to presenting classical works with entertaining insights and storytelling brings new life
to the genre. Concertgoers are invited to explore a lighter side of chamber music, prompting
the question, “Who would have thought that classical music could be so down to earth?”
At press time, six events have been scheduled in various locations in Monroe and Ontario
Counties. The festival offers an eclectic variety of performances that span traditional chamber
music offerings… from classic composers like Mendelssohn and Schubert to lesser known works
that highlight young talent and musicians, with a modern take on the world of chamber music.
This year, the Festival will open with the masterful pairing of delicious and unique wines with
their perfect musical counterparts. Artistic Director Kevin Kumar has chosen European wines
that match perfectly with Bach, Debussy and others.
New to the Festival, ChamberFest Canandaigua is partnering with The Lake House on
Canandaigua (rated #2 Resort Hotel in the Continental US). The 4-course meal, selected by
their chefs, will be accompanied by music that enhances your dining experience.
