One of the highlights of summer is learning about the wide range of theatre and music festivals throughout our region. This morning we will focus on the Cooperstown Summer Music Festival.
Festival artistic director Linda Chesis saw Cooperstown as an ideal location for a music festival, with its picturesque lake setting, small town charm, restaurants and attractions, including the Glimmerglass Festival, the National Baseball Hall of Fame, The Farmers’ Museum, and the Fenimore Art Museum.
The Festival began with three events in 1999, and since then has offered the region more than 100 performances, from classical to contemporary, jazz to bluegrass, cabaret to kids’ concerts. Linda Chesis joins us this morning to tell us about the many cool events going on for the remainder of this summer.
