The Festival's video premiere of John Luther Adams

The Festival's video premiere of John Luther Adams' Sila: The Breath of the World is this Saturday! Performed by 32 of Detroit’s top professional musicians at the Quad at Cranbrook, this presentation of Sila captures the harmony between the musicians, audience and nature. We are excited to welcome you January 23 at 7 p.m. to this complimentary video premiere. Register at greatlakeschambermusic.org or at the link in our bio!

Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival recently presented "Sila: The Breath of the World," a work by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Luther Adams, performed by Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings. "Sila" is one of several compositions by Adams that is meant to be performed in large outdoor spaces, making them ideally suited for pandemic repertoire. NPR recently highlighted how this has been a booming year for Adams.

A wonderful audio and video recording of the August Festival's "Sila" performance was produced, capturing in an artistic way what it felt like to be dispersed widely through the three-acre Quad at Cranbrook, surrounded by 32 musicians, Eliel Saarinen architecture, wind blowing in the trees and an occasional bird singing. The premiere of that video release will be announced by the Festival shortly.

Mark your calendar for the sixth Virtual Vignette

Mark your calendar for the sixth Virtual Vignette on Wednesday, January 13, 2021 at 5:30 pm, featuring Swiss-born American pianist Gilles Vonsattel and Metropolitan Opera violinist Sarah Crocker Vonsattel.

The performance will include solo works for piano by Louise Farrenc and Franz Liszt, as well as the middle movement "Improvisation" from Richard Strauss' Violin Sonata in E-flat major, Op. 18. The concert will be followed by live Q&A hosted by Festival Artistic Director Paul Watkins. RSVP at https://forms.gle/hvmUfSuBGGSZpcfC9

This past weekend, the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival, along with Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings, hosted its first live performance since March. About 60 audience members spread across the 3-acre space of The Quad at Cranbrook, and 32 musicians were interspersed between them. This atmospheric and dynamic performance provided an individualized experience for each person in attendance, with audience members seated in various areas of The Quad hearing the music differently than others. Click through our photo album and see some of the moments captured from that evening!
