Cooperstown Summer Music Festival 2016

Cooperstown Summer Music Festival 2016

  The Cooperstown Summer Music 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.

This Friday the festival will present Jasper String Quartet with Linda Chesis, on Sunday they’ll present a multi-generational instrumental tribute to Frank Sinatra.

Linda Chesis, founder and artistic director of the Cooperstown Summer Music Festival, has been hailed by critics on three continents as one of the most exciting and dynamic flutists of her generation. She joins us now to tell us more about this weekend’s concerts and the other concerts taking place in Cooperstown this month.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
