Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival
HistoryThe Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival was born in 1994 of a remarkable relationship between religious and cultural institutions. A secular event, the Festival is sponsored by three religious institutions (representing Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant faiths) and Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings, a prominent musical ensemble that also provides administration for the Festival. In two weeks each June, the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival presents nearly 20 concerts in southeastern Michigan. Many of these performances occur in the venues of the Festival's sponsors - St. Hugo of the Hills Catholic Church, Temple Beth El, and Kirk in the Hills. Additional concert locations have included the Detroit Institute of Arts, Kerrytown Concert House (Ann Arbor), Grosse Pointe Unitarian Church and St. Thomas Aquinas Church in East Lansing. A special highlight was a performance at the Library of Congress, in Washington, D.C.SpecialtiesIn two weeks each June, the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival presents nearly 20 concerts in southeastern Michigan.
