We are already missing our Festival artists, so we’ve followed them on social media! We provide noteworthy activities of Festival artists on social media throughout the year. Which Festival artists do you think are most active on social media? You might think Nicholas Phan (@grecchinois) would top the list with a remarkable 4,600 total followers! But you would be wrong -- Alessio Bax (@alessiobax) has 7,000 followers; and then things get really serious: Christine Goerke (@HeldenMommy) has 25,000 followers and Tessa Lark (@tessalark) tops all with nearly 40,000 followers! Follow these wonderful artists throughout the year to track their music careers outside of the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival.

It is hard to believe that there is only one concert left for the virtual Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival. We hope you’ve enjoyed these two weeks of beautiful music. Join us tomorrow at 7 p.m. EDT for the closing concert with Alessio Bax, Tessa Lark, Philip Setzer, Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu, Paul Watkins and Ivalas Quartet. All Virtual Festival videos are available to ticket holders until the end of August. Tickets can be purchased at: https://greatlakeschambermusic.org/2021-virtual-festival/

The final performance of the Virtual Festival, “

The final performance of the Virtual Festival, “Strings, Singing, and Strumming,” received rave reviews and standing ovations at our in-person festival. Come see what all the buzz is about! This concert debuts online this Saturday at 7pm. Tickets at: https://greatlakeschambermusic.org/2021-virtual-festival/

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Meet the Viano String Quartet! Composed of violinists Lucy Wang and Hao Zhou, violist Aiden Kane, and cellist Tate Zawadiuk, this group joins the Ivalas quartet as one of the Festival’s Shouse Institute Ensembles. Founded in Los Angeles in 2015, the quartet are First Prize winners of the 2019 Banff International String Quartet Competition.

FUN FACT: The group has played together since 2015, but had a chance to bond even further when they all lived together during quarantine. A few takeaways from that time: violinist Lucy and violist Aiden share a profound love of bubble tea and long walks. Hao and Tate, meanwhile, enjoy playing tennis together.

AT GLCMF: Hear the Viano String Quartet on July 22nd as part of our second Shouse Showcase, “Impressionist to Realist”, or stream their previous performances any time through August. Tickets at: https://greatlakeschambermusic.org/2021-virtual-festival/

Join us tomorrow night for a dramatic evening of voice, piano, and strings as the Virtual Festival continues with a presentation of “Poetic Visions.” Hosted by GLCMF Artistic Director Paul Watkins, this concert also features Alessio Bax, Tessa Lark, Philip Setzer, Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu, Christine Goerke, and the Viano String Quartet. Tickets are available on our website: https://greatlakeschambermusic.org/2021-virtual-festival/

Poetic Visions is sponsored by the Ruth Laredo Endowed Piano Fund.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Meet the Ivalas Quartet! Composed of violinists Reuben Kebede and Tiani Butts, violist Aimée McAnulty, and cellist Pedro Sánchez, this group is one of the Festival’s Shouse Institute Ensembles. Founded in Ann Arbor in 2016, the quartet currently serves as the Graduate Quartet in residence at The University of Colorado – Boulder where they study under the renowned Takács Quartet.

FUN FACT: Newest ensemble member Tiani Butts loves scary movies, so the group watched horror films together during the pandemic. Spooky! Learn more about Reuben, Tiani, Aimée and Pedro during their Festival interviews.

AT GLCMF: Hear the Ivalas Quartet on July 22nd and 24th, or stream their previous performances any time through August. Tickets at: https://greatlakeschambermusic.org/2021-virtual-festival/

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: How many lute players do you kno

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: How many lute players do you know? Meet Dušan Balarin, early-music lutenist and improvisational South American Jazz guitarist. Dušan apprenticed with British lute virtuoso Nigel North and went on to receive his M.M. in Historical Performance on lute and theorbo from the Jacobs School of Music. In Fall of 2021, Dušan will be attending the Juilliard School as a graduate recipient of the Historical Performance Scholarship. Read more about Dušan on page 18 of our virtual program book.

FUN FACT: In his free time, Dušan likes to read philosophy books, drink wine with his wife, and hang out with his cat. Sounds delightful!

AT GLCMF: Hear Dušan’s dulcet tones this Saturday night as part of our “Dreams of the Past” concert. Tickets at: https://greatlakeschambermusic.org/2021-virtual-festival/
