Cooperstown
Chamber Music Festival, Cooperstown, N.Y.
(Source: Cooperstown
Chamber Music
Festival Web Site) The Cooperstown Chamber Music Festival was
started in 1999 by artistic director and flutist Linda Chesis. A
renowned flutist who has collaborated with Jessye Norman, James Levine,
and the late Jean-Pierre Rampal, Chesis made appearances each summer at
chamber music festivals throughout the United States. As a child,
Chesis' husband spent all his summers in Cooperstown, at a house his
family still owns at the north end of the lake. Chesis longed to spend
more time in Cooperstown, and realizing that the village had as much to
offer as other festival venues, set out to create the Cooperstown
Chamber Music Festival.
"Once
I saw the barn at
The Farmers' Museum, I knew that would be a fantastic place for the
festival," explains Chesis. After clapping her hands to test the
acoustics, Chesis contacted the Museum. The Farmers' Museum had faith
in the idea, and now what started in 1999 as a festival of two evening
concerts and one daytime concert for children has grown through
community support to 10 concerts offered throughout the Cooperstown
area in 2006.
Operating
under the
auspices of The Farmers' Museum through the 2005 season, the festival
begins its 2006 season as a separate non-profit organization. For more
