Each June, the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival brings a contingent of the world’s finest chamber musicians to metro Detroit for two weeks of performances in spectacular downtown and suburban venues. Our mission is to bring together the world’s finest musicians to offer extraordinary musical performances and experiences. We celebrate, preserve and advance the intimate musical dialogue that is unique to chamber music through performance and education, enhancing the cultural environment of the Great Lakes Region for generations to come. The Festival is led by Artistic Director Paul Watkins.
