Geneva Music Festival

06/15/2026

We had such an amazing final week of the 16th Geneva Music Festival! 🎶

These photos are from , one of America’s leading, multi-Grammy-winning new music ensembles. Following the performance, one audience member noted: "Without intending to detract from the splendid chamber music that is the heart of the GMF and my own experience, I will probably remember this evening the longest. They introduced me to a world of sound and artistry and compositional possibility completely new to me." Thank you also to and for being there with us that evening!

These photos capture just one of the three incredible events that made up our final weekend together. While the 16th season has officially come to a close, we're not done sharing the memories just yet! Photos from our final performances are still to come.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's festival happen! Stay tuned for more highlights coming soon. Thank you for the great shots!

The Artist-in-Residence series culminates TONIGHT in a celebration of creative expression and possibility. With music by Mozart, Schumann, and Caroline Shaw, hear the sounds of a distinctly American ideal: the ongoing pursuit of happiness.

Mozart was a Freemason, committed to Enlightenment ideals of equality and human dignity.

Schumann's Piano Quartet is Romantic generosity at its warmest: big melodies, rich harmonies, the sense that the world is fundamentally good.

And Caroline Shaw, the youngest-ever winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Music, proves that the Enlightenment project continues: her Thousandth Orange is playful, strange, beautiful, and utterly original.

Featuring , , , and perform these works with the joy they deserve.

In a season celebrating America, this concert celebrates the belief that art can make us more fully human.
