Four-time Grammy Award-winning cellist Nick Photin

Four-time Grammy Award-winning cellist Nick Photinos is described as a “commanding soloist” (ClevelandClassical.com) whose “virtuoso cello playing is scintillating” (Chicago Classical Review). During Photinos’ 24-year tenure as the founding cellist and co-Artistic Director of Eighth Blackbird, he performed over 1000 concerts and premiered hundreds of new works.

He joins the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival this Wednesday at 5:30 pm for an evening of exquisite cello playing as he explores the concept of timelessness. Register for the Virtual Vignette at the link in our bio or at greatlakeschambermusic.org

The Festival's video premiere of John Luther Adams

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.
