This year's GLCMF theme is Turning Points! In honor of that, we will be sharing with you some integral moments in our Festival's 30-year history.⁠

Eight years ago, at the 2015 Festival: Paul Watkins succeeds James Tocco as Artistic Director of the Festival and selects a theme focusing on Making Music in America.

Come see the future of chamber music at St. Matthe

Come see the future of chamber music at St. Matthew's & St. Joseph's on June 22nd! The AYA Piano Trio and Pelia String Quartet, two of our spectacular Shouse Institute ensembles, will be delivering a concert at one of Detroit's most historical churches.

Beethoven's String Quartet No. 10, Op. 74 “Harp'” a definite "middle period" work, is full of heart, invention and accessibility. Filled with culturally rich folk harmonies, Babajanian's Piano Trio in F-Sharp minor is the Armenian composer's only piano trio and his best-known work.

Don't miss out on the chance to see these two boundary-pushing pieces and support chamber music's best up-and-coming artists!

Opening night at the Great Lakes Chamber Music Fes

Opening night at the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival is sure to be one for the books! This concert features the first-ever collaboration between three of the area's premiere performing arts organizations: the Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings (@detchamberwinds), Detroit Opera (@detroitopera), and the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival

The concert highlight will be a performance of Mozart's Così fan tutte, an opera known for its beautiful music, witty libretto, and intricate ensemble pieces. Conducted by Francesco Milioto, the piece will be performed by Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings, Detroit Opera's Resident Artists, and bass-baritone Nathan Stark.

Detroit Opera's Resident Artist Program, led by Nathalie Doucet and Christine Goerke, offers individualized training, opportunities, and performances to rising stars. Detroit Opera serves as a nurturing home for these artists, supporting and helping them achieve their full potential in the highly competitive industry. This will be the final public concert for the resident artists, Elizabeth Polese, Melanie Spector, Gabrielle Barkidjija, Leo Williams, Ben Reisinger, before they move on to the next stage of their professional careers.

Do not miss out on this historic collaborative performance!
