From first notes to final bows, Paul Watkins’ time with the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival has been a journey marked by excellence, driven by passion, grounded in collaboration, and shared with an ever-widening community of artists and audiences.

In Time Signatures, we celebrate the defining rhythm of Paul’s twelve-year tenure—a season composed of favorite works that have left a lasting mark on our stage and in our hearts. These performances reflect the past, honor the present, and set the tempo for a bold, resonant future.
