2020 Vision
Metro Detroit sees double vision, or in this case triple vision, across three world premieres and four unforgettable nights of new music.
The 27th Annual Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival (GLCMF) promotes the future of new music through the lens of three contemporary composers and world premieres. All three premieres connect directly to GLCMF’s 2020 theme, “Visions and Revisions.” Across two weeks, artists will perform repertoire tracing the impact of old composers on younger creators across the centuries. Our theme is congruent not only with chamber music’s evolution, but to our expanding role in the community. The Festival has broadened engagement initiatives by collaborating with institutions that bring our art form to demographics ranging from elementary students to homeless veterans. In this project, we span decades of creativity and reflect three distinct, diverse perspectives. It will occupy the imaginations of audiences from multiple counties and backgrounds.
