Backstage Pass with the Finger Lakes Chamber Music Festival--7/20 & 22

https://www.fingerlakes-music.org

Our spotlight on summer music performances continues with one of the longer running festivals: the Finger Lakes Chamber Music Festival. Founded in 2002 by Richard Auldon Clark, the festival has brought music to vineyards, churches, barns, and Camp Good Days, played by members of the Manhattan Chamber Orchestra. No strangers to our studios, Richard and friends return to Backstage Pass with a taste of what they're playing this summer--including a world premiere!--and some thoughts on how they've made it work for all these years. Julia Figueras happily hosts.  

A Strong Memorial baby and Greece Arcadia grad, Julia Figueras was the Music Director and mid-day host for WXXI Classical until June 30, 2023 when she retired after more than 26 years of service. She also hosted the award-winning monthly interview/performance show, Backstage Pass.
