Ruth Adler Schnee

Welcome!

This June, the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival explores “Blueprints in Sound,” a theme that celebrates the connection between music, architecture, and design. Inspired by the artworks of the late Ruth Adler Schnee, renowned textile designer and founding Festival board member, this series highlights the intricate artistry and thoughtful craftsmanship of composition shared by music, architecture, and design. With performances in beautiful venues and a focus on the finely woven textures of great chamber music, this season offers an engaging and memorable experience.

Where Great Music Comes to Play

Every summer, the heart of the Great Lakes is witness to an extraordinary cultural phenomenon.

A bold international musical event where the world’s most celebrated artists gather to perform chamber music.
Their passion and artistry move us to collectively experience the fullest range and depth of
emotion with every crescendo, turn of the page, and stroke of the bow.

Chamber music at its best – Fresh. Dynamic. Soul-stirring.

The Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival.
