Geneva Music Festival has announced its 2026 lineup, expanding to four weeks with performances from Monday, May 19 through Saturday, June 14.
The annual festival features GRAMMY-winning artists across classical, jazz, bluegrass and Americana music at venues throughout Geneva in the Finger Lakes.
This year’s theme, America the Beautiful: Finger Lakes Edition, celebrates America’s 250th anniversary through the lens of the Finger Lakes region. Many performances pair music with tastings from local wineries and exhibitions by regional artisans, creating experiences that showcase the region’s cultural heritage alongside world-class musical performances.
Geoffrey Herd, CEO and Artistic Director, described the season as the continued evolution of the festival into a cultural highlight for Geneva and the Finger Lakes. The festival welcomes back returning artists Jinjoo Cho, Henry Kramer and Masumi Rostad alongside other award-winning performers.
The season spans classical piano recitals, jazz trios, bluegrass fusion, contemporary chamber music and Americana fiddle performances, with venues throughout Geneva host the concerts.
Now in its 15th season, the Geneva Music Festival presents world-class chamber music and other genres to diverse audiences in the Finger Lakes, including youth outreach and free community performances. The expansion to four weeks represents the festival’s growth since its founding nearly two decades ago. Individual concert tickets are $40.
