Cooperstown Summer Music Festival

Enjoy the Cooperstown Music Festival

The Festival was started in 1999 with three events. Since then it has offered the region nearly 100 concerts, from classical to contemporary, jazz to bluegrass, and cabaret to kids’ concerts. In 2011, the Cooperstown Chamber Music Festival became the Cooperstown Summer Music Festival to better reflect the range of music it offers. The Festival has featured: Midori, Hank Jones, the Tokyo String Quartet, the St. Lawrence String Quartet, Tim Fain, Bill Charlap, Hilary Kole, Simone Dinnerstein, and Mark O’Connor. Linda Chesis, founder and artistic director of this Cooperstown music festival, has been hailed by critics on three continents as one of the most exciting and dynamic flutists of her generation.
