Subject: Re: NE US music fests
My very favorite chamber music festival is the Skaneateles Festival in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. It begins in early August and runs through Labor Day. (Opening night's tomorrow.) It's small, intimate, and totally unstuffy, and attracts nationally-known performers -- violinist Hilary Hahn, pianist Garrick Ohlsson and baritone Sanford Sylvan are among those appearing this season. (Disclaimer -- I'm their webmaster and a longtime volunteer.) For more info, go to http://www.skanfest.org where you'll also find a list of links to other music festivals and other area attractions.
