The Geneva Music Festival is back in upstate New York from May 23 to 31, 2025. This event brings together a great mix of music and local wine across the Finger Lakes region.
The 2025 lineup includes internationally known musicians performing pieces by Mozart, Dvorak, Brahms, Ravel, and more. Accompanying the beautiful classical and contemporary music is tastings from nearby wineries.

The festival kicks off with Tradition and Innovation on May 23 and 24, spotlighting composers from past and present, along with tastings from Billsboro Winery. On May 29 and 30, Old World Roots dives into the sounds of Ravel, Brahms, and Schumann, with wine from Keuka Lake Vineyards.
The season wraps up on May 31 with a sold-out performance by Grammy-winning jazz singer Cécile McLorin Salvant and pianist Sullivan Fortner. This final concert blends jazz and classical music for a truly memorable night, paired with fine wine from Airy Acres.

Geoffrey Herd, CEO and Artistic Director of the Geneva Music Festival, shares, “The Geneva Music Festival is about bringing people together through shared experiences. What better way to do that than with music and wine? They’re meant to be shared.” However, this year’s festival not only offers a chance to connect with others, but also invites audiences to reflect on heritage through music and wine.
