The Baroque on Beaver Festival takes place over the last full weekend of July through the first weekend of August. Situated on the most remote inhabited island in the Great Lakes, this nine-day series presents professional orchestral, choral, and chamber music concerts spanning multiple genres under the guidance of Music Director Robert Nordling. The Festival welcomes world-class musicians from the Midwest and nationally for its ensembles each year. Past guest artists include Garrick Ohlsson, The Lincoln Trio, Martha Guth, and Kevin Cole. Recent commissions include works by Clarice Assad, Tony Manfredonia, and Mara Gibson. Now in its 22nd annual season, Baroque on Beaver is presented by the non-profit Beaver Island Performing Arts Alliance.
